generally you can't get them used because they are glued in and when you try to take them out, they break.

I remove them with a carpet knife.
I keep running it around the inside till I've cut through all the urethane.
I did break one a while back ... but because I tried to cut everything from the outside, I pulled up on a chunk of stuff and a small piece 2" x 2" of the top layer of glass broke off near the edge
