Default How to remove passenger floor board insert

What is the easiest way to remove the passenger floor board insert without breaking off the rubber nubs. These rubber tips fit very tight and don't want to damage during removal. I am changing and want to install the old ones on another bike. Thanks

Spray some carb cleaner on 'em and ease 'em out one at a time.

You really don't need any lube when taking them off, just poke 'em back through with a screwdriver. This is what the shop manual says; I tried it and works super...
