I bought these from AliExpress, not very good quality - they looked like they had been covered in dust when sprayed.

Remove old ones with liteweight fishing line & furniture polish to remove stickiness.

 

The new ones just stick into to the locating holes, its very simple

Furniture polish....interesting?? I found a citrus based solution works well also tar remover.
