Donks ago I dropped the GSXR, and scuffed up the bar end. I have got some new ones and got the left one swapped over with no issues. I cant however, get the right one off. The screw spins (as does the end) but it never undoes, it actually feels like the rubber bung bit is spinning round inside the bar. Any ideas how to get the thing off? -- Gavin.

Given you have new bar ends already you could try the destructive approach... Angle grinder the head off it, slide the bar end over the remaining thread.. attack with mole grips and gusto.
If it's scuffed up anyway, can you get some pipe or mole grips on it and put some lateral force on it (rather than twisting) whilst you turn the screw ? Paul.
Cheers all, Ill man up and use a bit of force on it. -- Gavin. For the fast road: Suzuki GSXR600K1 For the slow road: Moto Guzzi California Aquila Nera For the track: <gone> For everything else: Citroën Berlingo Twitter: http://twitter.com/gavin_wilby Blog: http://eekafreek.com
If you're turning the screw by hand, use a drill instead. The rubber will either get hot enough to grip the bar, or wear enough to pull out easily.
