Thanx for the answer, I have succeeded now.
I first tried to remove two broken off magnets (only the part
that connect to the hole was present, and I had to remove these
to insert complete magnets from another car). I gave up on this
after several attempts (and than wrote my question here)
When I tried to remove the complete magnets from a car with bended
axles (the magnets I wanted to put on the car with good axles) they
came off quite easy. I'd put a piece of several times folded paper
into the hole and than pushed the magnet out with a tool (the paper
I used to prevent damaging the magnets and the car from the tool).
Since the broken pieces of the other car were already broken I used
some more force to get them out, only trying not to damage the
cars, and finally I succeeded. These broken pieces were already
heavily damaged (maybe a previous owner had already tried to
remove them). The round ends that are used to prevent the magnet
to fall out of the car have expanded a bit so it was harder to get
these through the narrow hole again.
Now I have a good car with good axles and good magnets instead of
one car with good axles but without magnet and another car with
bended axles but with good magnets.
