Hi Sean, They should simply press out........[and in] If you can support the lever over a hole, then with a flat headed punch tap out, perhaps protect the alloy barrel with a rag.......however if as you say they are on the loose side they should come out easily, but as for keeping them in place during use, I have a pair myself which is a little loose, but once the cable is fitted and under tension I have never had a problem.
