Answer 
To remove the Nut or Saddle:
1. Loosen the strings so that there is no tension on the nut or saddle
2. Gently try to push the nut and pull the saddle using your fingers. They should come right off as they are not glued
3. In case the nut or saddle are wedged tight, strike them using a rubber mallet with a low force to push them out of place
NOTE: If you install a new nut or saddle, you will have to set it up correctly. Unless you understand how that is done, it is recommended that you get it set up by an expert. If not done properly, it can damage the other parts of the guitar including the bridge and the neck.
