Help Removing Plastic Nocks

My FMJ bolts have red plastic nocks. I would like to replace them with Excalibur aluminum nocks with the tapped hole for easier bolt extraction. I am looking for suggestions on the best way to remove the existing nocks?

I put mine in hot water it loosened the glue enough for removal.

You'd be better off getting a Danny Miller arrow puller.

It occurred to me that he may just consider the plastic nocks not as rugged, ergo wanting to change them out, Don.
Actually, I replaced custom made aluminum moons with Firenocks (plastic) Q and J nocks on two of my compound bows because they 'capture' the string, thereby prevent arrow from slipping forward.

X2. If the nocks are plastic they shouldn't be glued and the Danny Miller plier pullers work great.

I just soaked one in boiling water for a few minutes and then tried to pull the nock off with pliers. It would not budge and I ruined the nock. Must be glued on with a glue that is not effected by heat?
