The ball on the end?

Just get some pliers and pry it off. New one pops on with some force.

Warm it up with a heat gun, or dunk into really hot water for a min. Softens up and pops off much easier.

If you just do the pliers thing and muscle it off, be careful not to gouge the metal ball end with the pliers...

Thanks to all. The hot water idea worked for removing will have to see if f that works for replacing them when I get the.new ones. I appreciate the suggestions.
