It would be difficult for a shop as messing with the cat is a federal offense 
with a big fine. But if you take it home, remove the cat, I think poking it with 
a big long screw driver something will help free it up.

Just replace it when you can, after this, ah, "test" proves the theory. You may 
find on-line sources have reasonably priced replacement cats that just bolt 
right in.
