Are you sure the bolt is brass? Test it for magnetism...I think mine are
magnetic/respond to a magnet/iron..whatever the word is!
So, I've used a long magnet before for fising things out of both (!) those
traps. You must see them in yr hardware shops. Looks like an a car antenna in a
biro case. The little magnet on mine will pick up a hammer.
Tape it up so it won't withdraw into itself and force it down. I came up with
a little screw driver and a mini spanner.........neither mine!
Have fun,
Simon.
