I have never tried to replace those, but it looks like they snap in. The o-ring is probably rock hard and that is why they won't come out. You might have to destroy them to get them out. They are $1.38 from GermanAutoParts.

They do in fact screw out, you do however need a very big allen wrench. Mine were about stuck solid, but they did come out. I would suppose if you were replacing them, then it would not matter if you destroyed them, but I would watch the threads on the head.....

Sorry I spoke before I clicked on the link. I was talking about 16v, or g60 cups which do screw out. I have no idea how those come out. Good luck.
