Central NJ looking to borrow a torsion bar tool

I've done with just loosening the big nut on the LCA.You can pry it out a half inch at a time.
Pry LCA to the rear, hold bar, release prybar, repeat . Easy, peasy.

Cool thanks AJ. so this method may still be an option for me.

I have not torqued down my LCA pins yet, so no worries there.
I was wondering about the strut rod as 67Dart273 pointed out, I will probably need to take the nut off to free up the LCA.

BUT,
Is that enough? what else will hold back the control arm. What about the UCA?
I'm thinking that the there won't be enough give to the LCA if I don't separate the UCA from the knuckle.
