Does anyone know of a way to remove these without tearing the rubber boots. I want to take mine off before trading the bike and I want to re-use them. Thanks.

 

I just swapped my 13 year old factory floor boards for the chrome and rubber, if you are careful, and push from the bottom, work with a small flat blade screw driver you can work the rubber pieces back up through the floor board pan with no damage, use a little dish soap and a lot of patience.

 

Was dreading doing mine but was very easy. Dish soap and screwdriver. Don't use much pressure with the screwdriver. Went back together with no tools.

 

No big deal.
You could always WD-40 them too.

 

It's all about the soap, a large flat blade screwdriver and being gentle.

 

KY jelly should do the trick...

 

 

Lots of polmolive liquid on the outside of the rubber ball and a philips screwdriver in the hole of the rubber ball. Gentil push and out she comes!

 

....Or just spray the rubber ***** sticking out the botttom with WD-40 and gently lift.

 

Yep, dish soap and use a piece of cloth over the screwdriver blade.
