There is a video on youtube where the guy wraps the "goal post" with a towel then whacks it with a hammer and the cap pops off. I just tried it this week and it works. I used a rubber hammer, hit the post and the cap popped off. Pretty easy.

Yea, key is using a rubber mallet/hammer. Came off with ease! Keep some towels handy, 'cause that grease that's in there is nasty!

Go to restoring vintage drums.

First sticky is. How to restore a Speed King. Go to page three. There's a vidio showing the hammer technique.
