torsion bar change, need help

I have always just used a pry bar between the LCA and the K-frame (after backing off the pivot bolt nut). It pops back easy and the T-bar pushes back with it. You then just hit the LCA forward with a rubber mallet while you wiggle the T-bar out of the grease. Of course, I have the T-bar unloaded w/ LCA hanging down and the rear clip out.

I have only removed a T-bar when doing a suspension rebuild (new bushings, etc), but would do the same if just changing a T-bar. However, life is too short for me to spend time upgrading a T-bar or such unless part of a bigger job. Heck, some youg guys buy a brand new car, then strip the engine down to put in "performance" piston rings or such, then do it again next week when they get another paycheck. Summit loves them, but not me.
