The tube is glued so it requires a bit more to remove it the 1st time. I use an old 510 battery to remove my tubes. Since the Fluxo tubes are not glued they are easier to remove the 1st time.

Removing the Visions cone base metal ring is by far the hardest part. The first time i tried, I used a set of vise grips, and even though i got it off, I buggered it up pretty good with teeth marks. Since then, I made this little jig out of a thin peice of oak. I drilled a hole the same diameter as the base ring, then cut a slit down the middle to shrink it, and help the clamping force. I then clamp it, right center on the Stardust..works like a charm, and it doesnt distort the metal ring when yanking the tube off.

Your right about the O-ring. That little jewel is critical to the tube not leaking. If it tears, or gets lost, the show is over...repeated tube removal, is sure to destroy it eventually, I feel....
