The OEM chrome end caps are press fit into the end of the bar. Wrap it with black electrical tapes a number of times around and use pliers to grip it if needed. They don't thread in but press in. So wiggle, pull, and twist to get them to back out.
Hey thanks. It worked out GREAT!
One more question. I changed bars and had to rotate the brake and clutch hoses alittle , i just loosened them enough to move then around and snugged them right back down. Everything feels ok do you think i should bleed them or should i be good?
Thanks.
You should be able to tell by feel if you got any air in the system. So, if they feel normal you should be ok. I've done exactly what you mention without any issues.
