I don't think I pulled hard on her. It was more like just coaxing her off of the internal pieces of the chair and then pulling her out of the hole. My mom kept the springs pushed down while I worked on getting her free. I was trying to be as careful as possible. She seems okay. I've checked on her. She's just hanging out in her rock lair like normal.
Good to know, though. We will not be sitting in that chair anymore.
