How to make an end cap puller using a leftover piece of carbon bar and some hose clamps.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Carefully place a piece of carbon (or metal) bar into a vise.<\/li>\n
  2. Make two cuts along the length, removing about 1\/4 in. (~5mm) to make room for the piece to tighten around the end cap.<\/li>\n

  4. Wiggle and pull the cap off!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
