i think you would just push them out, they are pressed in so they get pressed out. I have heard of this boiling thing but never did it personally. supposed to make it softer, you could be the first to let us know.

Boiling composite parts will allow the part to be less prone to breaking in a crash. If you find a stock part that is common to snapping because you feel its brittle, boil it.
