Is this the same retainer as in the Estes Jinx? Just this week I was able to get the motor out of the Jinx, which last flew almost a year ago in March, 2016. I turned the retainer with the screwdriver of a multi-tool until it was lined up in the exit position, then used the pliers to work the whole thing out. No way I could have done it with the little plastic tool they provide. If the Cruise Missile is made the same way, just resign yourself to the fact that this will be better off as a shelf queen. Made for looks, not function.
