Bar Ends

Is there a secret to getting the bar ends off? Or is it just brute-force and ignorance. There's blistering under the plastic coating that says there's rust underneath, so I might change them, but the whole thing just turns and I can't hold the bar end tight enough to turn the bolt. The are normal right-hand?

Either use a belt strap tool thingie to hold the bar end or use a piece of tin can in mole grips ... Belt strap is better....

He likes those or was it the strap on that he is particularly partial to......

Cut them off with a hacksaw.

I've heard of the six degrees of separation.

But this is the four posts of sexualisation...

Probably deserves it, though

Pete and Hanna may have a selection of "Belt Straps" that they use for this job too but I use a strap-wrench to remove the bar ends.
