Removing Rods and Removing tracks from Kixx Game Cabinet

[heathbarcrunch]

Is there a trick or reccomendation on how to remove all the rods and gears from the machine, so i can get the aluminum game cabinet sand blasted and powdercoated? If possible, I would like to remove all the channels, grip bumbers and rubber stoppers  as well WITHOUT trying to remove the yellow grips from the rods.

Any suggestions or reccomendations. Thanks in advance for your ideas and help.

Alive and Kixx'ing.
