The sockets of course need to be replaced, just cut the wires to remove.

With many of the sockets if you push something like an awl or thin
icepick in beside the wire it holds the spring back so the wire can be
pulled out. However after the attempt to pull them out be brute force,
cutting them close to the socket and stripping them may be best.
