they wont be expensive either!! around the 20 pound mark + p&p

I'd guess its easier than hammering it out.
If it works..
#10: Re: torsion bar removal tool Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 6:49 am ---- Nothing is easier than using a sledge hammer. Seized torsion bars need brute forced not delicate little tools.

Personally i wouldnt bother at all, id get some one else to do it
#13: Re: torsion bar removal tool Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 9:54 am ---- True hammer is Easier, tryed the bolt method once and snapped the bolt so never tryed it that way since.
#14: Re: torsion bar removal tool Author: charlie-52, Location: telfordPosted: Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:18 am ---- how about if i had a a very high tensile bar made with an m10 thred on one end a large nut half way down (welded into place) to wind it into the torsion bar and a flat surface on the other end to hit with a BIG hammer, atleast then you wont damge the threads while hitting the torsion bar
#15: Re: torsion bar removal tool Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:22 am ---- Sounds like a idea, I normally push a smaller bolt into bar and hit on that (if you use right size the head gets disformed and can't get it out)
Can you draw a diagram?
#16: Re: torsion bar removal tool Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:31 am ---- a 4kg sledge is best, the nut and socket method will only work if its been out a few time and then they is no staying it will work. id like to see it work on a car that 10+ years old

You are still screwing something in the TB though. Any impact less that perfectly straight runs the risk of snapping the threaded part in the TB.
