Hi,  
I have a Duncan metal racer, and I put the aluminium rings in the side. Is there an easy way to get them out?  
Thanks,  
GD

They’re hard to remove without damaging. You need something stiff enough to pry them out, but soft enough not to scratch them.

I have a pair of pliers with a rubber grip handle that has worked in the past. Try anything that is rubber or wood that will give you enough leverage.

I used my pliers with rubber handles and they popped right out! Thank you!
