I have a Mini Maglite 2-Cell AA torch, so it's quite thin and small. But the battery closest to the bulb has leaked and it's stuck in there. I've removed the small components, including the bulb and the black ring holder, and tried soaking it in Coca-cola, but it's still stuck.
Are there any household products I can use to remove it? I need it by friday so something I can buy from shops. Thanks!

You could try WD40 but I doubt that will help. The most likely way is to drill into it and try to pull it out, or scrape/lever it out with a screwdriver. Take care with your hands - easy to cut yourself. Best to hold it in a vice with soft jaws (or a towel or something).
