They are rarely loose enough to pull out from the tip with pliers. Use a non-marring wedge and gently tap it between the bottom of the spring and the frame and it should pop loose enough to pull with pliers. If you don’t have or can’t make an aluminum or brass wedge/punch, a regular thin blades tapered screwdriver will work but if you aren’t careful you can roll or mark up the edge of the frame.
