Max, There is a tool that might let you do this with relative success. It's a Hammer Head & Butt Extractor type tool available through piano supply places. However, there is a much easier method to install new bridle straps if that is all you're wanting to do. It is using Spring Clip Bridle Straps as Don Rose mentioned. Personally, I would consider it overkill to remove the catchers for this purpose unless you are trying to maintain originality for whatever reason.
