Hi,

I got bar end mirrors that are supposed to fit into the ends of the bars(obviously) but the nuts that are used to hold the barend weights will not come free? Any clue the on the best way to remove them? I would prefer to remove them rather than push them in farther and I would like to avoid drilling them out if i can. thank you

get the bike held tight, impact driver on the screw and turn out. if theyre not stripped yet this could work.

I just tried to use a bolt with a big washer on it to try to put them out and it snapped the bolt and didnt budge, I couldnt believe it.

Are these things threaded in or just press fit?

my bar ends were threaded in when i had the original bars. but to be honest, im not sure if my 89 bars were the original or not.

Finally got them. They were spot welded from the top and bottom of the bar so I drilled out the weld and used a bolt to drag them out then cleaned out the hole with a dremel bit.
