Hi all,

Try a pair of pump pliers with tape wrapped round or the plastic clipon covers and quickly crack the alley key not to hard though

Failing that take the "Pierre Action," and angle-grind em off! No offence pierre, I know you are skilled with all tools....

d rider bought the correct tool from aldi, but those of us who are even cheaper.... take a can of coke and open it up so you end up with flat tin

wrap that around the bar end weight - and hold tight with molegrips, stillsons or pipe wrench - then while holding it use the allan key

Yep - a strap wrench

You don't have to buy them from Aldi ..... but they were cheap

An adjustible oil filter wrench (1"to whatever) will do it

Gotta be a hacksaw or angle grinder

I had to do the same thing to my Pan Euro, but then it was 153years old and had been kept outside in all weathers without a bike cover.

Neither would mine

They come off really easy if you use a strap wrench.

Yep. I'll second the strap wrench. Works a treat.

PE4 separates Motorcycle parts quite amicably.
