| 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 |
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.
