Oh well... If I loosen the screw on my shifters, the screw and the bracket come out at either side (front/back) so I can directly remove it from the bar without any sliding whatsoever. It's a faff to get them back on but I've managed to do it on multiple occasions... That might be the case with yours too. My experience is with st-r505's and st-r8020's.
