Large easy-out?

i can still get a little leverage with the hex wrench, i think i own the ez out, what can i put on the ez out to have enough leverage?

a drill works, but take it easy. otherwise a socket that fits well. Otherwise, heat is very very effective.

Mine was seized, and I used this to get it off:

Can have it in one day if you have prime. But, to heat it,you will need to take off,or cut off the grips.

i cleaned up and called it quits for today, didn't really want to start on it, thinking the brake/clutch line could be too short, still don't know if the brake lines has the slack, i think it does tho,

it was easier than i thought, and could have finished it if not for the seize

so the right bar end stopped progress cold, i could still ride the bike, i have been so busy the last time i started/rode the bike was last month this time

anywhoo i idled the bike , for a while so that's good

I would use a large crescent wrench to grip the end of the easy out if I didn't have an impact wrench.

if i do heat it, what tool did you used to turn it out?

[ZOA NOM]

I would tap the easy out with a hammer to set it in the head of the hex screw. Then grip the easy out with the wrench and twist

ok gona give that a try, so no drilling

Thats a good idea Rick, I didnt think about a crescent wrench. To be honest, I has already munched mine to hell, so i didnt care. I tried easy outs, and they just stripped it more. So i heated the hell out of it, and grabbed it with channel locks, and it twisted right out.

To address the plastics in the way of heating, just take the bar out of the other end (the riser side, and strip everything off that way, then chuck it into a vise to hold it while you turn.

But hey, if the easy outs work, thats gonna be a hell of a lot simpler than my way!

If the bar end is already screwed up use a pipe wrench to remove it.
