Pilot jet unscrewed but stuck in carburetor?

I'm rejetting my 2006 Honda Crf250x and I'm having trouble getting the Pilot jet out. It turns freely with a flat head screwdriver and if I tip the carb upside down it will fall partly out, but I can't get it to come all the way out even if I pull on it with a pair of tweezers. I can't take the float bowl off at the moment because the previous owners has mangled the heads of the screws. Does anyone know what the jet could be catching on or have any suggestions?

What's causing the knock/rattle over bumps?

I've gotten under it 3 times now (03 Honda Pilot) and can't find where it's coming from. ALL bushings appear to be intact, can't move links, sway bar, tie rods. Wheels do not tick, whine, squeal, squeak or pop when I turn them. Tried to bounce it from top AND from underneath, not a sound. But, when I go over bumps, most ones where the wheels have to drop, rather than rise, it knocks and rattles. Engine does not have excessive movement in gear. The only problem I found underneath was the Inner CV boots are leaking. I don't have a jack so I didn't and can't jack it up. Is it possible it's CV axles causing it?

03 Honda Pilot, clicking sound in steering column?

When I press the brake, while in park, I hear a click in the steering column. It also clicks when I take my foot off the brake after putting in park and the vehicle does the normal roll back or forward depending on incline. Should I be concerned? It doesn't happen any other time.

Does shifting in an automatic damage the car?

My car (Honda pilot 2011) has a 1/2/3 setting on the car and if I use that while driving will I damage anything? I typically use it when I'm driving for fun and shift it at red line and then shift it back into drive at the end of 3rd gear. My old car was a stick and I miss it but will it hurt the car besides the normal wear and tear?
