They are a tapered end interference fit. If you use a socket and rock it back and forwards but dont press forward it will come out. :D

Pop it in the fridge and it will tap in easily. I made a little pusher that goes over the spigot to protect it. Just a bit of steel with a hole drilled in. The spigot goes in the hole and you tap t'other end. I also put a thin O ring on the part that goes in the cases, and a smear of loctite to hold it in position.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
