20mm hub dust caps / sleeves

OK, I need a little guidance, please -
How do I remove the outer axle sleeves/spacers/dust caps from these 20mm hubs ?
Obviously held in by an internal snap ring with NO outside access, a loose, spin fit, tight against the bearings, and NO inner ledge to drive against.
Is there a trick, special tool, or do I just destroy them to remove ?
Any advice much appreciated :)

Uh, Paul - These were NOT coming out with anyone's short of Superman's fingers.
They were held in with a tightly pressed ring, and it took a couple solid shots each, with the slide hammer, to pull them.
Now, I'm 100% sure that you likely had a higher grade hub than my Ali Baba specimens, and that probably had bearing on your easy success.
But anyway, they're out, and the hubs already laced up to some nice 36 hole Sun Ringle rims.

Varies , yes I had some AliBaba that could be taken out with fingers and I have a Neutron hub from out of a Nukeproof wheel [ I am assuming some quality ? ] and I can get one out and one not out so I think [ our ] MMV !

However ever day is a school day and I have learnt there is such a thing as a blind slide hammer , so something else to investigate and maybe make of get for my birthday so ' win win ' in my book (y) :D
