Handlebar weight removal

[Wuyang]

So I'm trying to remove the screw from the bar end weights on the inj innova......( to fit handguards ) they spins so grips applied and screwdriver turned. Bloody solid.....bust the first screwdriver then bust a screwdriver bit.

Don't think there seized.

Any ideas?

Is there an expanded diagram on a spares site like Fowlers?

Those have helped me in the past see things I couldn't understand, looking from the outside.

There is a welded captive nut inside the bars and this is what the screw threads into, they are prone to seizure as the bars are a sealed environment with moisture inside.

Your going to have to 'beast it out' to use the modern Army parlance and then re-weld in a captive thread to refit the weights.

Not an easy fix, but would have been made sooooooo much simpler had lube been used on the threads during assembly.

Don't know about the Innova but the Wave isn't like that.
It's a long weight with rubber expanding bits at each end. Couldn't undo the long bolt that goes through but i found that if i wiggled the visible bar end with a well attached pair of moles i could feel the give as the rubber squidged. Some GT85, some persistence and some gentle encouragement with a small hammer in the outward direction got them out.

It worked for me so I'm guessing it will, Alan.

Saved me searching and posting the link, too. Cheers!
