Rear Sprockets vibration damper removal from rear wheel - Monster 620

[rohalloran]

Hi all,

I am in the process of getting my wheels powder coated on my Monster 620. I have tried and tried to get the rubbers out of the rear wheel which hold the rear sprocket in place with no luck.
Can anyone advice on what needs to be done? My next step is to bring the wheel to an  engineers to see if they can press them out. Just thought I'd ask before I do so. The powdercoaters are worried they will melt when they go into the oven.

FYI the correct term / part number for what I am referring to is: 70010051a  - vibration damper

Thanks in advance.

Thanks @Speeddog for the link.

Why do Ducati make some things so difficult  

Is this the only method people have used?

Here's another method with a homemade puller. Seems kinda slick:
