when you do get them off maybe a little tiny bit of grease on it will help, not too much so your bars dont clamp but so you can get them off next time.
no. find a vice, basketball goal with a pole that holds it up, or anything firm in the ground and put one side of your bars on the pole and yank on your deck so it makes your bars come off. nom sayin?
thanks for the ideas but i got the bars off but my compression bolt was to short so when i got the bars off my HIC shim got stuck in there so now i need to get that out
get a pair of needle nose pliers and pry at the hole at the top of the slit on the shim. make sure not to destroy it or anything. eventually it will come off. thats what i had to do.
