some of those look like they can't be merely taken out. You should un bend them- and try not to mess up the threads inside-- then take them out and replace. If the threads are all mess up, you might need to re-tap them-- or you could just force em in!!!!

Heat em up until they are glowing red with a propane torch then bend them using thick gloves and vise grips.
