Not sure about Kompedells, but Lekis are pressed on.  The replacement tips 
should have directions, if not....  Take an adjustable wrench, fit it somewhat 
tightly around the top and whack it downward sharply with a hammer.  They 
should pop right off.  Replace and bang them on a hard surface to secure.

If Leki tips fit, their carbide tips get about 1200 miles of hard hiking on 
average.
