Splined fits with my thinking. Drilling may be best but will try heating and knocking out.
if it get too stressed then I'll try drilling.

Looking at the photo Ian I'd hazard a guess that they have been pushed in from the top and are an interference fit and may well be splined.

A combination of drilling out the centre, a bit of heat and a good seeing to with a lump hammer should get the broken one out.
