Hi all!

Got me some ufo handguards, went to fit them earlier but had trouble at the off. Removed the bolt but I couldnt get the flippin bar end off I pulled, twisted, wiggled, jiggled all to no avail. It's like there's something holding it back and to top it off, I tried screwing the bolt back in but couldnt.

Sorry for the numnut question but I really could do with some advice. Fanks

Anybody?! I was hoping to get these sorted tonight as I've lost my winter gloves & my fingers were blue by the time I got to work

I know very little about those myself, all I know they are hard to remove, they are designed to expand and clamp in the bar when tightened but ideally when the long screw is removed they should pop out, try soaking them with WD40 and then get a long neck pliers and see if they give, alternatively tap the opposite end with a wood mallet and they should really come out. If not its going to be a run to your local friendly mechanic, I am afraid.

Yeah judging by the bits & pieces that came with the handguards I realised that there might be something expanding in there but I didnt want to force it too much in case I damaged something.

Are the two ends connected in some way?

No
