removing shimano DX endcaps

(1/2) > >>

jimwise68:
Got some DXs with the original endcaps in. they seem to be stuck fas due to a bit of scuffing. What is the best way to removing them?

Do they screw out?

oberonspacefruit:
no. they fook up when you try. remove any swarf from the alloy, and use a glasses screwdriver to pry them out.

nigh on impossible though.

jimwise68:
cheers phil

shame as they are in good condition, will have to get some replacements.

oberonspacefruit:
you could try soaking them in liquid wrench for a feww days first, that may persuade them. its usually the oxidisation of the alloy that creates the seal though, so maybe a drop into caustic (if you are restoring them) may take that little bit of erosion away, and give you chance to nibble them out.

endcaps seem to be hard to come by these days.

crazycraig:
If some one can get me the cad programme for DX endcaps i can get some made
