Yes they just clip in... gently pull up and they come right out.

Be careful putting them back in. I broke one of the clip pins on one when I put it back. It was not in the hole when I pressed it down.

Good info to know. Eventually they will get scuff marks and its nice to know that they come off fairly easy for replacement.

Those skuff marks are easily removed using a "Mr. Clean Magic Eraser" (available at supermarkets, Walmart etc.)

Thanks for the replies. I use a green scouring pad and water to get rid of the scuff marks. It doesn't take much effort to spiff them up.
