Offset blanket stuk in galley press

I managed to get an offset blanket stuck in a Vandercook Roller Series press. Its’ wedged between the bed and the smooth part of the cylinder that rolls along the bed (not the gears). I’ve already tried pushing and pulling in every direction.

Don’t you know you aren’t supposed to do that? The only way I know to loosen the cylinder is to loosen the roller bearings on the side of the carriage. Pay really close attention to where they are before you loosen them, cause your press won’t work right if you don’t get them back where they were.

I wasn’t able to take apart the press as much as I as trying to, but removing some parts adjusted the height just enough to help.
