I don't consider this innovative, but it is the only practical method
that I know:  using a large hypodermic syringe loaded with water, inject
each one with water, so that it is quite loaded.  Wait until the glue is
completely softened (like an hour), then press in the lower part of the
felt and SLIDE it upward, completely off.  Wipe edges with damp rag or
damp paper towel (Bounty is best).  Same for dampers, and most other
felt.
