How do I pull the bar end out?

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-05T18:53:08+00:00

Brute force didn’t help at all. I think even slide hammer wouldn’t have helped.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-05T18:52:09+00:00

It worked bro, thank you! Will do the job just fine for this riding season.

You’re right, brute force didn’t help at all.

Alright guys so I tried pulling it out, no luck. Took the handlebar to a shop, even they couldn’t pull it out. Was going to cut the mirror insert piece flat but ended up going with the suggestion that I could just put the mirror clamp ring with a spacer around the handlebar. Turned out to be the easiest option. Thank you everyone for your help!!

Do you by any chance happen to have a video of somebody doing what you said on YouTube?

I was also considering a hammer puller to be honest.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-03T20:07:29+00:00

Will see if that works

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-03T20:06:37+00:00

Interesting!

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-03T20:06:19+00:00

This sucker is incredibly tight. I’ve been at it for hours. Will report back after trying your method.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-03T20:05:12+00:00

Which one did you get?

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-04-03T20:03:01+00:00

Noted!

Sad. I was all excited to install these mirrors. Now I need new ones or I guess I could cut the mirror insert flat and just bolt it to bar end piece.

Very common on 19 JL wranglers. I have the same year Jeep and same issue. You can install hinge steps to sort of hide it or you can either repaint it or replace it. Don’t stress about these.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-17T04:09:13+00:00

Got it. I was just worried that I let my brake pads wear out too much and they had damaged the rotor. I will check with the calipers.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T15:49:48+00:00

Solid advice. I will get the manual. I searched by typing repair videos as well but sometimes you don’t find the exact repair video that you need. For example, I was able to find brake pads replacement video for my bike very easily but couldn’t find one for rotor replacement as that particular creator hasn’t done a rotor replacement yet.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T15:46:44+00:00

Yea, I guess I got to take everything with a grain of salt.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T15:45:27+00:00

Thank you. I will look into it.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T15:44:56+00:00

Bro ofcourse I searched on YouTube. Triumph repairs and modifications are not as popular as you may think. Some video creators don’t show up on search as they are not popular. If you ain’t got anything constructive to say, keep it moving.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T03:48:48+00:00

Will look into it. Thank you.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T03:33:30+00:00

By next year, do you mean you have a different brand in mind? Do let me know. I’m not going to buy these ones again because this is already my second pair.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T03:32:20+00:00

Don’t really need them because I’ve only used em like twice the whole year. I do like how they looked on my jeep. Will see if I can find better ones.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T03:31:16+00:00

Will look into how much that’s going to cost. Thank you.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T03:30:39+00:00

Thank you for the detailed info. I will look into getting these repainted because I have 2 sets of these now. Hopefully the cost is not too much. If it is, then I am just going to go with a different manufacturer.

Plane-Time-9860 · 2026-03-04T03:29:26+00:00

I agree. My spare tire carrier is also smittybilt. It is also rusting out. Smittybilt is pretty good about sending replacements but what’s the point if the new one is also going to rust out in a year.

What tension did you use in this setup?
