Default Castor Removal

I have got an ordinary office chair. One of the castors broke but the
distributor (dpauk.net) has quite efficiently sent me a set of castors
(all five). (I write "quite" as they first sent out a set of the wrong
castors. But both sets have been sent for free which is pretty good -
the chair is a fairly low cost model.)

But I cannot see a way of removing the "spike" part of the broken
castor. I think you can see clearly what I mean in this pictu

I tried pulling it out using pliers - but it seems to be extremely
firmly fixed. The new castors have the "spike" already inserted into
them. The bit that sticks up from the new castor has a metal
circlip-like object on it. Any ideas?

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
