Leaf spring gaiters

Tuning up the rear suspension on my 120, trying to chase down a couple of issues. Working on the rear leaf springs.

Is there a way to remove the gaiters such that they can be used again, or is there a reproduction? It appears the top and bottom we’re essentially pressed together, and after 85 years on the car, they aren’t just going to slide apart.

I know they are non-essential, but they were there originally, and I’d like to retain them. Thanks!

Thanks! Sent that from the garage, hadn’t googled yet. Got 1/2 of the first gaiter off, should be able to re-use it. Will post some pictures tomorrow.
