Not sure which kind you have but some screwed, others were a softer material that was a press fit onto some barb like or ridge protrusions on rod. If this is what you're working with, Packard had a small heater that would slip over them. Might try some heat from a hair dryer to see if it will soften things up a bit. You can tell from the ones removed what type and about where the barbs are. Some have been on so long, they're brittle, cracked and tight, and will be destroyed no matter how gentle you are.
