Default Stuck: (WJ) Removing the track bar

Hi All,
I'm in the process of installing an IRO 3" Lift kit on my 2000 WJ
I have the axle side bolt out and now working on the frame side bolt.
The problem is the bump stop is in my way so I can't fully pull the bolt out of the sleeve.

Is there an easy way to get the bump stop out of my way?
I looked around to see if there are any bolts holding the 'cup' in place but didn't see anything. Is it as easy as prying the rubber out?

Prying (and a whole lotta cussing) got it out.

I believe the bump stop just presses in the frame bracket. That one looks like a polyurathane one. Mine are black rubber.
