HELP NEEDED!! torsion bar tool

VDART said

you shouldn't need one ,when removing the lca --use that assembly to pry the torsion bar out the back side (remove the retaining clip).
You might have to clean ups some road grime around the torsion bar mounting area-- but it should come out rather smoothly ,Lawrence

he is quick ^^^ ...I was going to say the exact same thing ...I have disassembled a lot of cars and I have never needed a T-bar tool.

if you have to smack it with a hammer repeatedly then that means something is still binding it....shouldn't have to beat up the T-bar to get it out.

make sure the lower control arm nut is off and the adjuster bolt backed off completely
