Not sure if it really matters but that what i have been doing
I use the long threaded rod to pull them also. I actually used a 3/8 threaded rod that I turned down the end on the lathe to 5/16" and rethreaded it to fit the caps. Overkill, yes...
A slide hammer does work fine for removal, but since I have the main cap "bridge" it is nicer to smoothly pull the cap off.
