quick context :
I bought a different saddle but it didn’t fit so i ordered a new adapter that holds the saddle it’s a but bigger but still doesn’t fit
I want to change those things even though they look the same i want to try if it will work
but i don’t know how to take them out

When is no screws on other side, you have to just pull it out or push it,thru the hole with screwdriver or something on the inside out…
I’m interested as well. I don’t think it’s possible but I’d love to know for sure.
Just hammered that shit out. It’s conical, and it doesn’t make you feel good doing it.
You take a wood or something stick – put it through the hole until you feel resistance and hammer from the other side with a rubber mallet. It comes out but it doesn’t feel good psychologically.
Basically it’s stuck because of old/hardened assembly paste.
Yeah it blows.

Additionally to forcing it out try to loosen it by soaking it in some lubricant.
I had the same problem. Grab a allen wrench which fits in the hole. Put a microfiber towel around the wrench or something soft. Then you have to force it out with quite some strength. It doesn’t feel good like the other commenters say, but it’s the only way!
I cut a takeaway bamboo chopstick cut in half and tapped it out from the opposite end. One came out pretty easy and the other was extremely stubborn. Had to tap forcefully around the circumference of the part before it came out.
