'05 9.25 rear rebuildable?

Somewhere i heard that an old torsion bar will work for an adjuster that its the same hex.Dont know how true this is but if you have one its worth a try.


Now I'm not saying it wont work and I dont have a torsion bar sitting around right now but I do have an anchor so I measured because they look very close.... but I think the torsion bar may just spin unless it can be cocked enough to catch or if the bar is not ever going to be used again by running a weld bead along the edges may work
