As far as i can tell it's just brute force. They come easily to the fully extended position and then require a smack from underneath to remove them.

Brute force my man,brute force!

Pull it up full stretch,then using the base of you hand a sharp thump up onto the bottom of the head rest and it will come out.
I've done this procedure more times than i can remember and they still work loverly.

If you just try to pull it out,it is nearly impoossible to get them out.

May the force be with you.......................

No real force required. The last scribe is deeper to stop the thing coming off in the hands of a passener.

Just pull it until it stops and then start to rock it back and forth while pulling. This lifts the spring out of the scribe. No hassle.
