Complete overhaul of a 90’s specialized Deja Two. Tandem. Got to the wheels and noticed these press in (?) seals? Also amazing that the rubber gaskets inside these hubs are soft and supple and in perfect condition… anyway these deals/dust covers spin freely but do not thread out so my guess is the thread arrow is for the cup and cone (which tracks) and these must be pressed in. Do I even dare pull these out or do I just flush+clean best I can, dry, and re grease?

pop em out with a flathead screwdriver, clean them, push them back in after.
I never mess with press in dust covers.
clean around them.. the time spent trying to fix a dent on them is not worth it.
prying them out with a screwdriver is for sure the easiest way to deform them.
