1934 Cabriolet. I am in the process of installing one of Dan Brusegard's upper steering shaft bearing kits. I'm at the point of having to remove the original (I assume) rubber grommet in the upper end of the steering column.

I tried inserting long screws into the grommet and pulling but this hasn't worked at all. It's apparently in there pretty tight. I've had such good luck getting suggestions from guys here that have BTDT that here I am again asking for techniques that have worked for them.

Any and all comments about how to remove that grommet will be greatly appreciated.
