how to remove break hoods?
 
Trying to remove arrow break hoods so that I can remove break levers and install a new stem. Quick search revealed little other than "use a hair dryer", which I dont have.

So far ive been able to peel them back from the handle bars, and wiggle them off a little so that the top arrow point moves a little behind the arrow hood groove, but not much beyond that.

make sure its unplugged use needle nose pliers and catch the edge of metal and work it around-it will come out even if you have to push the sides inwards on all sides
