how can i get out my graphics card?

[terminator123]

my case is old and odesnt have any screws holding it into place
the man who fitted my gtx 660 hadto use pliers and rip off two metals plate to insert the back of the gpu
when i press the WHITE LEVER i can lift up one SIDE of my GPU
but i cant get it fully out because the back part wont shift

ive tried pushing it inwards so it will come out when both sides are up (but i cant get both sides uP)

and im scared incase i break something

any tips please

First of all, take off that adapter. The card won't come out with it still plugged/screwed in.

I did, it was off at the time and it wasnt shifting, maybe unless i basically put near enough all my force into it, then it might come out but believe me it isnt shifting

If you can't get out that adapter, you'll have no change at getting the card out.

Can't you use the twisting screws on either side to get it off?

Oh right. Could you link up a photo of the card in the slot? By the sounds of it your issue isn't right, It is bets we get a visual perspective of what's going on.

I see, the card only lifts from the side opposite to the lever?

Push the card back into the slot just how it was before, push down the lever fully and instead of pulling it out push it to the left (so bracket moves away from rear of case), then pull up.
