    • Loosen the central nut on the faceplate that connects the bars to the steering column. If the bars are secured by a faceplate with a detachable top, loosen the nuts on the faceplate and remove.

    • Lift the handlebars from the bike frame.

    • Move the bars until they're in the correct position for your stance. Tighten the faceplate nuts with a 3/8" Allen wrench to firmly secure the handlebars in place.

    • Sit on the bike and make final adjustments to the positioning of the brakes and gears.

Conclusion

To reinstall the handlebars, complete these steps in reverse order. If there is a problem with the alignment, return to the handlebar repair guide and repeat step 4.
