Default Re: Torsion bar removal

You have the gist of it. Lift the tires off the ground, jack stands for safety. Take the pressure off the bolt, remove bolt and keeper, remove clamp.

I used the actual tool made for this and was able to use my impact wrench with it. YMMV using a C Clamp as most do allow you to put a wrench on them. The BJ clamp may work.
The hardest part for me was getting the torsion bar out of the key. Lots of penetrating oil and impact chisel to break them apart. I off road mine and they were stuck together pretty well. I think that may be the hardest part for you.
