I broke my bars(stock) right above my double clamp, about an inch or so below the starnut. I'm wondering if it is possible to remove the starnut, and possibly recycle it for use in future bars. I don't care if I wreck my bars trying to get it out. Any suggestions, please? I searched to no avail.

youll have to bend the outside parts back in cause theyll be shaped to your bars.

Take Your compression bolt thread it into the starnut about an inch, and move it back and forth really hard why pulling up and your starnut will back out. I've done this method more than 3 times. (note) "You wont able to use the starnut again.) Unless you bend it back into it's original place.

Go to your nearest bicycle shop and buy one. There like $4.Ã?Ë?Ã?Ë?-$5.Ã?Ë?Ã?Ë?, too much work to reuse that one.

Screw in the bolt thing that goes in the starnut and pull it really fuc*ing hard down.
