a:
Assuming you might want to reuse the bar someday, you need to preserve
the tangs on the ends of the bucket pivots
Get a table knife, the kind thats thick and wide bladed, but not sharp.
A butterknife works too.
CAREEFULLY.. slide the knife betwen the bucket handle and the bucket
side. Twist the knife to push the handle away from the bucket. This puts
a strain on the tangs on the end of the bar. Use your fingers to pinch
these tangs together while continuing to twist. The handle should pop
off. Do this on both sides. Then spread the bucket to get the bar out.
If you're gentle and careful you won't deform the plastic, but if you
force it you will break the tangs off. I have lately been able to
achieve 100% success but when I started doing it was only at about 60%.
