Anyone ever taken this apart? I want to strip the paint. I have looked at the parts catalog diagram but hard to tell how it goes together, and want to avoid wrecking the rubber pieces if possible.

Not specifically on this, but usually, you need to push the inner metal sleeve out first, then the rubber will come out with a little prying.

Yep.

I would make a receiver a little larger than the o.d. of the metal bushing and push it through . When reinstalling it , use a rubber lube to make it easier . HTH

Thanks, was able to lever them out. I am not going to try to reproduce the factory rubber mounted bars, but going to hard mount them.

 

Here's the triple after stripping with Easy-Off, sandblasting and then sanding the top surface with an hand sander:
