Default What's a good way to remove coilover sleeve from strut?

Hey guys,

You know how you stick that rubber ring onto the strut and then slide the coilover onto the strut... how do you take the sleeve off of the strut? I have tried once and it is almost impossible... that rubber ring gives pretty good friction between the strut and the coilover... do you guys know a way to do this? thanks...

It can be tough. I tried taking the sleeves off of my struts that had been on there for 2+ years and replace them with regular springs but they wouldn't budge. I think I'm just gonna leave them on there and just take the collars off.
