    I just replaced mine on my 550. You should be able to just unscrew them from the ends of the wires.

    Yes but be sure you get the correct type and resistance for your bike.

    They have a spike inside that screws into the center of the wire, they just unscrew off.

    Lop a couple CM off the end of the wires to give them a fresh bite.
