Brush got Stuck

I was using a brush to clean out the EGR and it in turn got stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the brush out? I would like to get it out tonight so that I don't end up riding my bike everywhere as the temperature is a little mind numbing for the time being.

it won't pull out or it broke off up inside? if its up inside try some skinny needle nose pliers

It just got stuck. It went in and out just fine the first couple of times and then I went for another round and it refused to come back out. Would the needle nose pliers still work, or is there something else that would be more productive in removing it?

might try twisting it with a pair of pliers each direction while pulling

Thanks for the help. Got it out by using a pair of pliers and getting the end of the brush to wrap around the pliers. Turn a little and the brush moves turn some more and it comes out.
