    I think the rubber ones do have to be pressed in,Nolothane brand and similar just push in by hand.They come in two pieces .I just cut around the old rubber ones with a knife to get them out.

    an easier way to get them out...if you have it up on a hoist or high enough off the ground use the actual rod.....poke an end in and pull the down rod straight down...ya might even need to go side to side a bit....the rubbers just peel out real easy!! just done mine about 6 weeks ago...used nolothane as brett jjj said... 2 pieces easy

    I did a VERY detailed write up on this some years ago, I have refined the method since writing it so feel free to PM me any questions if you get stuck.

    Here is the link.

    Hope it helps.
