Question?? I got a new tool today.
Cut off wheels are the way to go. I use a 18V Milwaukee for 'junk yarding'.
Be sure the bar is not under tension before cutting for sure.
The reason i am asking about cutting a torsion bar in half, is because i have been reading postings on this forum from people in the rust bucket states, that are trying to work on their rusted cars.
When i read a posting, "I can't get a torsion bar out, and what do i do now?"
And lots of replies are you trying to save the bar, or replacing it.
Then you get replies, if your replacing it, Cut it out.
Ok, what was used to cut it in half?
And the other week i saw a picture, i think it even was on this forum, of somebody that cut one in two.
How was it done? What tool?
And another thing.
What if you have an adjuster bolt that is rusted, frozen, stuck that you can't unload the tension on the torsion bar?
I see postings like that all the time on this forum.
Your gonna, hafta, cut the bar in half, aren't you, even with the tension on it.
What other choice would you have?
Ya, a cut off wheel on a grinder is the preferred method, i guess, but i wanted to find out if one of these saws would do it, also.
