James,
I've never replaced these before. They look like common iron pipe for
natural gas plumbing, so you might be able to get new material at a hardware
or plumbing store. They can probably thread it also, if it is not already
threaded. I think they originally had a short slot on the end to screw them
in with a flat tool. If you use a pipe wrench to re-install, you might make
them a little extra long so the wrench marks can be cut off after
installation.

James,
Use a pipe wrench on the outside of the tubes. Before you do, stick a snug
fitting bolt or a piece of round stock in the open end to keep the pipe
wrench from collapsing the tube. They will come right out , if they're not
badly rusted you can probably reuse them.
