You can usually pop them out of a FHB with a plastic tyre lever.
There are 2 common shapes bitd.
But it's just a seal to keep the crap out - you could probably make something out of pipe cleaners and sticky backed plastic

I think they jam and distort easily.Yes, I've seen people just tap them out, the one I removed today wouldn't even come out with a slide hammer! I've managed to find a replacement from a R500 which has a rubber surround so was quite easy to remove. I guess that's the only way forward, to find salvaged ones
I don't think shimano ever supplied spares for the freehub body itself - the entire body is the replacement part.
Often still available though.
and end up with a used part! Thanks for your input
