Randall Young said: "One trick I've used on similar things :
burn/melt the rubber out, then use a hacksaw blade to cut through the outer
ring (without cutting into the spring eye).  With a cut most of the way
through the ring to release the pressure, it should tap out with a hammer
and drift."

My recent experience would support Randall's method.  Penetrating oil helps.
