Few things:

1. Don't take tubes out of rubber. Hard to get in and out.
2. Tubes have two reasons.
A. Prevent screws from backing out
B. Preserve straps
3. Be careful of cheap aftermarket tubes. Sand the edges to ensure they don't scratch your case. Some can be roughly cut!
4. I find a toothpick of the right diameter is the best tool to remove/add tubes to tight fitting OEM straps.
