swinging arm rubber thingies

[parkduc]

I want to use an ABBA stand on my 620. The swinging arm pivot has a rubber cover on either end. I assumed this was a push fit into the spindle but it seems to have some kind of circlip inside it. I could just lever it off but would like to know if there is a proper way of doing it. I guess replacements in a Ducati package will be about £50 for the pair so a bit of previous knowledge would be useful.

circlip? you were right first time, they pop.

No circlip, they should just lever out easily. New ones are available and I don't think are over a quid each.
Cheers

Thanks. I must be getting senile or paranoid. Used a bit more effort and they popped easily.
