Keep those cheap steel bars which come with Japanese bikes or don't throw away those nice aluminum ones you bent. File one end's edge around the circumference to form a mini-cookie cutter. When you need to replace grips (for those using hand guards); slide them onto the cheap bar end and tap the garage concrete floor until poked through. Thus a fairly perfect knockout is created for the bar end mounts to pass through. No sloppy slicing/dicing required!

Wedge/wiggle a phillips screw driver under a grip and squirt WD-40 under in between - they pull right off.

When removing components with multiple mounting points, immediately replace as much of the hardware as you go along so you don't have to waste brain energy on how it fits back together, moreover to prevent inadvertent distribution of said precious hardware under various large garage fixtures with a simple kick of the foot.

(I once had a wheel off for days, and it dawned upon me one afternoon while at work the kids could be rolling it down the street - bam! There goes an otherwise straight disc rotor. Thereafter I did not delay any tire/wheel work.)
