.....in which case, the rubber is still effectively absorbing some of the shock load as you apply the slide hammer ...?

I've not had to remove mine yet but I daresay there will come a day when I do, so its all good info to file for future ref.
Ta.

No I think he removed all the rubber 1st so Stevie Wonder gripped on the outer sleeve only

I didn't see the bruises, I was distracted by the elefant on the wheel spoke....there should be quite a few more dotted around the bike.

Utopia, that's it. The puller has a lip at the bottom which is wider than the bore of the sleeve once expanded. I had removed the rubber before doing this, so that only the outer sleeve remained.
I've seen people pull these bushes complete but I had already worked away the rubber when I made my redneck puller.
Apparently if you heat the ally up enough you can pull them in one piece.

Darkness, they're on my palm and one on my other thumb. Ha ha. Yeah there are a few elephants kicking about, but couldn't tell you where off the top of my head. All the Ducati logos and fonts will be highlighted on the bike so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for em.
