How do you get the collets in the valve block out?​

Normally they just pull out, but might need a little assistance with a flat bladed screwdriver each side to ease them out
this is assuming you have the pipes out already

I believe new ones are available if you have a little mishap getting them out.

get your crochet hook to fish them out and seat flat. if you've got something in progress on your crochet needles then something similar, I use my small allen key as it has a ball type end

the blunt end of some 7 & 8mm drills work well for seating the o-rings.
