i got my handlebars yesterday. well today im taking the old ones off and putting the new ones on. well i have a bit of a problem, i got the clutch lever and killswitch off fine, then i move to the throttle assembly, the 2 screws holding to the handlebars WILL NOT BUDGE, period. just wont move, no matter what i tried. right now im waiting for the Trio (wd-40 stuff) to set in, I sprayed the piss out of the screws. any tricks to getting it off?

Mine were pretty hard as well, I ended up using channel locks to break them loose, then the screwdriver does the trick. I don't think there are any tricks to them, just effore, either channel locks or vice grips...

sometimes after you lube it you can tap on the head and sides and it will help.
