    Use a prybar or two at opposite ends or failing that a skinny punch from the other end, hit it a few times making sure your hitting the splined shaft. Never failed me.
    Its only stuck in with a clip, a bit of force will get it out. It should be handy seen as its on the ground.

    If you rotate it so two of the three corners are at the top left and top right use two pry bars on either side to prise it out. As seen in your second picture bits seem to be broke off the box from trying this, it will take effort. Get someone to hold the box steady.
