Putting in new riser bars and right 8mm hex barend is seized

[Tuned forks]

MTC, Easy Outs or screw extractors are very hard and brittle steel.  Never use anything to gain leverage or you will snap the extractor inside the screw and then you'll be flucked and plucked.  If it won't come out with just a wrench on the extractor then stop.  Heat would be your only answer unless you could get some penetrant inside those threads.  You can buy a MAP gas torch at hardware stores around here.  MAP gas burns hotter than propane.

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

i am tempted to pipe wrench it, but i don't think i have one.... and i could always file down the teeth marks and repaint it, i am doing things on the cheap here, 2500.00 bike, already got 3700.00 in it

This is a good point. The easy-out will destroy the hex hole, so expect to replace the bar end. I wouldn't thread it back on there after using an easy-out.

You local auto parts store might have an electric impact wrench they loan for free

Might try a strap wrench... you might even be able to fashion one from a belt or something that will grip the bar end.

1/4 is pretty dainty. I would use a full 1/2" if possible

just called autozone and no , no loaners

Wrap a strap around the bar end, and around a socket driver extension. Then use the socket handle to leverage the strap to loosen the bar end.

pipe wrench time, i already toothmarked it with vise grips

[ZOA NOM]

another idea would be to take the clipon off and take it to any auto shop and ask them to remove it for you. they would have a vise and an impact

that is a cool device

They sell em at Home Depot. It would allow a very long handle for leverage.

But you could make one with a piece of square tubing and a strap.
