[QUOTE="kawahonda, post: 178131, member: 9759"] Thanks. The machine shop fixed this bar and they also removed a stuck screw from an exhaust shield on my exhaust pipe. They charged me $84 for the whole job. I'm thinking if I just brought them the bar it would probably be at least $60. It was a bit more pricey than what I was expecting, but I still came out ahead vs buying re-pro bars at $120. These bullet connectors do not have the crimps exposed. It's just the wire going right into the bullet...maybe somehow the bullet itself is crimped. I'll see if I can "pull" them off with force. If not, I'll just snip it since it sounds like if I lost a 1/2", I'll be more than fine. Even with the bullets snipped, it's not going to be easy...even with a staggered approach (which I do use!, but here, there's just no room). One thing I do is use a little bit of 3-in-1 oil...and I'll sometimes soak the sheath in warm water to aid as well. I crimp...like factory. :) After crimping, I also "press" the crimped portion even tighter with small pliers. When I'm done with it, it would have to take some serious force to "pull" a connector off...it would be something of strong determination to do. [/QUOTE]
