One trick I've heard works well is to drop them into a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Softens them up and returns them to their original size.
Have you found a source for replacement MCUs? That would surprise me since I haven't seen any since the 90's. A lot of people swapped out the yellow foam for a coil-over shock at some point.
I'm trying to replace the Polyurethane elastomers with coil springs, it can be done as I've seen it done (years ago) and it works better than the elastomers.
