Cheapest place for torsion bar removal tool/clamp?

I used vise grips with a section of bicycle tire around the bar and that worked great.
Vise grips never touched the bar.

I'm with TrailBeast on this one, I have pieces of old conveyor belt about 1/4" thick, rap a piece around the bar clamp vice grips on it, after loosening the LCA smack it and out it comes.
