fork protector removal

Any idea how to remove the vertical black-plastic fork protectors without destroying them or the sliders? I've got the sliders off the forks but can't figure out how to remove the things so I can resuse them.

You have to take the front wheel off and slide them off.. I cut mine off with a razor blade scraper, just make a little groove, then a deeper groove, then you can basically pull it off the rubber is so soft... I cut em off and put on a Super Brace with the fork guards.

If you want to re-use them you have to tap them up with a piece of wood till they are loose on the fork tubes, then remove the tubes from the trees and slide them off.

Just tried the "hit it with wood and a hammer" technique and it worked! What a surprise. Parts are totally reusable.
