I'm not familiar with the Rikon center but I'm guessing it's a generic like most that come with other brands of lathes. If there's a hole in the other end (at the end of the morse taper) you can use a long narrow punch and knock it out. The center points are usually a morse taper too and it will go back in easily.
Use a dowel or brass or some other soft metal rod. If you use a pointed punch you risk slightly widening the back end of the (hopefully) removable insert and making it tighter in the hole.
