Can Rallye Donut Lugs Be Pressed Out Of The Donut?

[mk21147]

What I am trying to do is remove the balance weight from the rear of a Rallye propshaft were it bolts to the VC. I have a new Rallye front donut I wanted to use but lugs where I want to bolt it to the VC are only 22mm & I need 25mm. What I am hopping to do is press the 25mm lugs out of the old donut/balance weight & press them into the new Rallye front donut, has anyone ever done/tried this before? Is this possible? Or can a donut with the correct lugs sizes be bought off the shelf? I think I need 22mm on the side that attaches to the propshaft & 25mm going into the VC. Any help or advice much appreciated.

Just press the inner locating lugs out

Yes bit there is a tendency for both the inner & outer sleeves to come out destroying the donut

Or can a donut with the correct lugs sizes be bought off the shelf? Yes but you will not like the price (see Below)

I have a few rear donuts in near perfect condition (see photos)

You can have a almost unused one for 55 eu + postage

There is only a bit of surface rust on them which will easily wipe off (they look worse in the photos than they actually are)

The rubber donut, the important part is in perfect condition []

Thanks for the offer Chris, I will let you know when I decide what I am going to do.
