I have a ball stuck in a ring and I can't get it out. Any ideas on how I can fix this??

Many Thanks

You could try to re-heat it up and let it cool down.

I had one stuck tight too. I heated the ring then put an ice cube on the ball. Released by the second cube.

I have had success, Heating, cooling ball with the ice cube and then a little bit of gentle persuasion with a vice and hammer!

it is the hammer that did it!
I have heard the old builders saying
"Hit it with a hammer" works every time
