No prob's
First pull off the circlip from the metal arm, slide pedal from the arm, then ease the pedal section thats broken out , using a broad tipped screw driver, fit new in reverse order.

They are not meant to be removed without damage. You are supposed to fit a new one every time.
In practice, most times they can be levered out with a screwdriver OK, but occasionally they break.

I assume you want to remove it because its broken at the bottom. I agree, it's entertaining to drive until its fixed
I took mine by carefully drilling through the plastic in a number of places and then chopping it up with a wood chisel
A bit animal I know, but it worked
