bar weight plugs

[tjfisher]

Ok is there a safe none destructive way to remove the bar end weights inserts ?

I thought you just unscrew the bolt in the middle and it just slides out...

the weights and bolt do but the insert is really tight or glued not sure hoping someone has came up with a method

Are you looking to keep them intact? If not you could drill it out carefully. To be honest I am not sure what they are held it with. If its some kind of glue, you could try holding a heat gun on it for a while and see if it pulls out.

Not sure what other options you have.

i just installed them into some new OEM handlebars they are not just glued. if they even are glued. they are TIGHT. in fact i had to file them down to make them fit. getting them out would be next to impossible.

you might try to heat the handle bar while holding pressure on the bar end with a pipe wrench. the teeth of the pipe wrench should be covered by wrapping a rag over the bar end. good luck.

before heating try a slide hammer of they are just pressed in
