This part is usually easy, depending on what kind of tea lights you use. Some have separate little circuit boards that make them "flicker" and others have that built into the LED's themselves-- that is the kind I like to use but the others will be fine if you have room for their circuit boards.

Using a small flat-head screwdriver, pry the bottom out of the tea light.

Remove the battery

Bend the leads beneath the batteries to release the LED lead.

Turn over and unsolder the other side of the LED from the switch.

Do this on both tea lights to remove the LED's.
