Here's what I've unsuccessfully done so far:
1) The "a piece of rubber" (in bold above) doesn't seem to want to fit back into the handlebar. Is this normal? I don't know how I'm going to reinstall the bar end if I can't get that piece of rubber back into the handlebar. Do I have to rubber hammer it in? :??:

sorry, no idea :??: If it's the expander, that one fits real snug. AFAIR it's smaller than the expander.

I'd use a little swiss army knife to pry the plastic hole fillers up (a screwdriver could damage the tender plastic) then a hex key to unscrew them. But it's much faster to lay the bike on its side on the grass. Just make sure you see the nut come out, use a towel or something.
