Bar ends

[RustyBasterd]

Ok so I ordered the rideitmoto levers and they came with free grips. I tried to take off the bar ends with and allan wrench I ended up striping one of them. But I noticed that there is a smaller wrench size and a larger one on each end is there and trick to this?

Use the big one, and it just unscrews in one solid piece. I don't know why that smaller looking hole is there.

Ok thanks I just didnt want to screw anything else up!

Also, i'd put a pipe or something over the allan key, gives you more leverage to get the bolt off.

Use the big hex key (9mm ?) and it should come off pretty easily. If you can't budge it use a rubber mallet to help free it. I hesitate to use a 'cheater bar' as you can break the hex key and cause damage.

LOL, i think the same of using a mallet, can shatter the thread.

Yeah, it is secured with a thread locker (and should be re-secured as such), but a hex key - 8mm from memory, and a short jerk should remove it. I know, because at 5'7", I've been called a short jerk, and I had no problems.
