I’ve been recently trying to change the keycaps on my 80HE and it went well up till the space bar. The switch keeps coming off with it and I don’t know how to remove it off there. Any ideas from anyone?

Can’t you just pull it out? It happens sometimes but you should be able to remove it from the previous spacebar.
Alternatively, you can use one of the spare switches instead.

Grabbed it with my fingers and tugged but it just seems stuck through and through. I’ve applied force to it but not a lot because I am afraid of breaking it.

Are you using stock switches or aftermarket ones? For example, Jade Maxes are known to have this kind of issue.

Also is it an ANSI model that came with the keycaps preassembled, or did you have to install them yourself? If latter I'd be wondering how hard you had to push to install the spacebar keycap
