Bar ends?

HRCNICK11 · 03-29-2009, 12:18 PM

If its the stock ones the insert moves. There is a clip on it that digs into the inside of the bar itself.

i was thinking about trying the rubber mallet, but the thing looks threaded, so i figured it turned...

i guess i could use my engineering knowhow to find a way to pull the other one out... i'll probobly kill myself somehow.

could you leave a note for someone else to post up if you do manage to kill yourself replacing bar ends?

That link might help it has a photo of all the parts involved.

More than likely the insert broke about a inch in if its spins. The bar end and the insert should have half circles that interlock so you can hold the bar end to keep the insert from spining. Lots of times the bar end breaks and takes about 3/4 of a inch of the insert with it. You would need to replace the insert also.

If you need to replace the insert a slide hammer works nice to remove it. There is a one way clip that snaps into a hole in the bar and is damaged when removed.

Ok I'm up to speed now...Would it be better for him just to "beat the insert in further and buy aftermarket,even Suzuki style ends?

It would vibrate more if he did that, plus if he ever wanted to sell it that would key me off to the fact that it has hit the ground.

He needs to look in the end and see if its broken off or not. If its not it should look just like the end of the bar end. Really this is not rocket science you just need to figure out what going on in there and move stuff around a little.
