what i do is put in the blind portafilter, pull the lever up, and when pressure starts to build loosen the handle on the portafilter. usually this will force the gasket out part of the way. if that doesn't work i screw a self tapping screw into the gasket and pull it out with pliers. i've only had to use the screw a couple of times, most of the time the water pressure will force it out enough that i can get it out with a flat blade screwdriver.
