Def going to use this to keep using my 1 inch plates for my home gym! So happy I wont he stuck using a crappy bar or replacing all my stock!
That’s great to hear!
Holy crap, the lubricant actually helped. Thank you so much!
I’m glad!
The method I used was to clamp a pair of vice grips on the bar to keep it from rotating. Then used my 10mm hex wrench to break the bolt loose. You have to be SUPER careful and wrap a rag between the vice grips and bar to keep it from slipping and scoring up your knurling. I probably would only do this on my cheap bar (you know, the kind that use 10mm bolts😅). The more expensive bars use snap rings and collars, and are easier to disassemble. I've also found that the10mm bolts loosen a lot, so I put thread locker on them. Anyway, great tutorial video!!😎👍
Thank you!
Having this exact problem. Especially with gaining enough leverage to generate the appropriate amount of torque to break the bolt free. Will try these methods later.
Good luck! I hope it helps. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks. I was trying to figure out how to take the sleeves off and didn't reaalize it was just a large hex bolt!
No problem!
For posterity, my bar needed a 12mm hex wrench.
@@macewindont9922 I hope years from now you look at this comment and recall your 12mm hex! Thanks for watching and for the support. :)
Man mine is so seized up on both sides. I already sprayed and soaked them with PB blaster oil. Tried your method and tried holding it with vise grips too and I can't get them loose. I'm probably going to have to put the barbell on a large vise in a shop.
Did it work? I’m have an issue with an ez curl bar?
@@George_Jackson_ haven't tried it yet hehe. Gotta load it up into my VW golf. Might do it at work tomorrow if we're not to busy just to let you know what happens. Haha
I have a couple of dumbbell bar and barbell bar on which I couldn't unscrew the bolts even with great effort. Seems looks like they are glued on. Even heating doesn't help
That's a tough situation. If you have already tried heat, Id say to try some other rust break up products from the hardware store. I don't know the specifics, but Ive noticed differrent will work to varying degrees depending on the project.
of course you can put a wrench on both ends to break the first one, but the other I'm thinking strap wrench.. obviously hand grip is only good for a few Nm so this demo was not at all seized.. impact driver should also be good because bar has some inertia..
Since filming this, I’ve picked up a strap wrench. Very helpful. You’re right. This is just a simple trick to help most.
what bout the rotation system?
is it ball bearing or bushing?
These barbells have bushings
Wanted to see how to take sleeves off. I am modifying a barbell to make a new exercise.
Interesting. Thanks for watching!
@@vintageweightspgh Exercise failed. At least I was able to try.
Ya I'm confused. I just bought a barbell for bench presses and it came with those caps on it. But my weights don't fit on it. What am I missing here? I take the caps, or sleeves off with the Allen wrench in order to put my weights on?
Hmmm... you shouldn't need to remove the sleeves to put yiur weights on. It sounds like you may have a standard barbell with collars. If possible, send me some pics of the bar and caps to VintageWeightsPGH@gmail.com and I can let you know for sure. Thanks so much for watching.
I have an easy curl bar I tried to do this with but the bolts are on so tight that even this method didn’t work. Any advice?
PB Blaster is a good loosening agent
@@vintageweightspgh I finally got it. I used a bench vise which really helped 🙌🏽
Use dead blow mallet rather than hammer should be safe enough.
Good video though thanks!
I appreciate it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What keeps the sleeve from sliding to the other side?
Great question. In the case of these two bars, there is a piece at the end of the sleeve that catches the bar. That end piece has a hole in which the hex bolt goes through to screw into the bar. Tough to describe so I hope that made sense haha.
@@vintageweightspgh yes makes sense man, thanks, building my own barbell so this is very helpful
Well I have a bunch of standard weights and I'm too cheap to upgrade all my gear
So I've went on the search for the strongest standard bar I can find, but sadly most of those are no longer made strong enough to even handle 500. All the good ones like the hampton 6/7 foot 500lbs, and the ivanko 7 foot 1,000lbs standard are discounted.
So my next option is to get a woman's Olympic barbell (cause it's 25mm) or just a 27mm Olympic barbell and disassemble it and put 2 sets of screw collars on it 😂
What do you think?
That would work. But a vintage York standard can hold some serious weight. York made standard 100s, 75s, and 50s. It would be pretty silly if their bar couldn't handle it.
@@vintageweightspgh awesome advice, I might actually be able to find one of those.
@@vintageweightspgh just found out vintage york barbells actually used 2 sets of screw collars! So that was actually something people did back in the day, vintage bars didn't have the welds that stopped the weights from sliding into the middle of the bar.
So I think taking a woman's Olympic barbell or a 27mm Olympic would be just as good.
Thank you for the advice again!
@@kevinpoynter6697what worked for you?
@@kevinpoynter6697I have the same issue what worked for you?
Some say hex screw barbells are not safe. I want to know if anyone had any problem use them?
Generic barbells usually came/come with 300 pound sets and aren’t rated or intended for lifting more than that. The only unsafe thing about them that I’ve ever heard is that they’ll bend if you lift over 300 pounds. There’s a fairly famous video of powerlifter Joe Sullivan squatting at a gym he happened to stop by and the cheap barbell bends over his shoulders. Pretty wild. And scary. What type of safety issues had you heard about?

I just watched this guy said. His point was overtime the hex screw may become loose and the sleeve may fall off. Not sure whether this happened to anyone.
Where is later video?
What video do you mean?
