I broke the outer lockring of my grip of yesterday and when Iwent to remove the grip I realized that the rubber/plastic bar plug is stuck. It's a tight fit since ENVE bars are thicker than aluminum. They won't budge and I ripped the outer part off while pulling so the second half is now stuck. Any ideas?

Maybe try compressed air into the other side?

Good idea, but I'm not sure If the other end will pop out either. I'll try my luck.

My bad I thought you had one out, maybe try drilling through the other bar end or prying it with a small screwdriver
