Any help/suggestions would be great!

There's a great one on YouTube. If I wasnt on my phone I'd link you to it. Just look up removing keg spears and then look for the one that looks like yours.

Get some pliers and push down on the black seal.
Grip onto the metal inner part and turn clockwise or anti clockwise. Can't remember. Falls apart then.

From memory

The centre goes in one direction..... clockwise
And the outer ring goes in the opposite.
Otherwise you end up in all sorts of trouble.

Have a look at this thread.
