Get a small head screw driver & push them out & if you want to remove the spreaders put in a sealed ziplog bag then the freezer for few hours then pry it gently with same screw driver.

Thanks for the advice. I just tried that but it seems not possible to just push them off. They are too tight. I probably need a better tool than a head screw driver.

As the OR said, just get something under there and pop it up.
