Will do. Found a set of 17" bars I am interested in. Hopefully I will be able to pick them up this winter. Got to get my old dd back up and on the road so I can start have a vehicle while the Slim is down.

I simply used WD-40. Works like magic:
I protected the surroundings with a cloth, to avoid the WD going or dripping around. Let it sit for couple of seconds.
Then you can start to move and pull the thing around; when it start to get loose, you have more room to shoot some more WD. Wait, pull and repeat.
You will be able to remove those nice and neat in a couple of minutes
