Strut rod bushings?

in 30 years of messing with these cars and scowering the junk yards, i've NEVER seen a broken T bar. NEVER. and a scar is NOT going to affect the way it works. you can probably rent the TOOL from advance auto parts if you are worried about scarring it up. but you aint gonna hurt it. either way. if it is unloaded, and the rear of the torque box is cleaned out well enough and the retainer is removed it WILL come out fairly easily. i swear it will.
