Do a search on the site. Ther are lots of tips on removal involving air guns and grease guns. I have just put on a link to a fella that makes stainless ones and will ship world wide.

That's really the only way to do it. Only thing I would add is make sure you keep fluid in the reservoir so it doesn't run dry!
