Torsion bar help please!!!

Had one in a '57 Dodge that would not come out of the rear socket. Soaked it in everything that anybody could think of, used a propane torch, press, etc. Finally took it to somebody with a real torch and got the socket (those are removable in the early cars) red hot and it finally came out with a hammer. It was a rust issue, but the rust also covered about 6 inches of bar so we replaced them. Your bar looks very similar on that end.
