However, the right hand one wouldnt budge, got the bar end loose but the allen bolt stayed put. Gave it hell with the allen keys, got some decent short ones and eventually the bolt rounded off 
So, a bit of drilling out the end of the bolt and some hacksawing got the head of the bolt off, then pulled bar end off and used molegrips to get the rest of the bolt out. The end of it was rusty and very dry 
New ones look good mind, but the old ones are scrap |
If you need some old ones you can have mine  |

You guy's want a scottish bird with ginger hair, lives on poridge and Irn Bru to come down and get them off for you??????
Just laughs
I was lucky cause mine is new, no corrosion set in yet. Or perhaps cause I eat neeps, tatties and haggis

i think we need to be removing and greasing bolts and screws on our toys on a regular basis to prevent any nasty shocks

Aye you need a laugh! Got some stitches in yesterday doctor told me I had thick skin Been working with guy's since I was 16 so you kind of have to have a warped sense of humour.
