i never seen a torsion bar removal tool. do you know where i can get one of those? i like to buy as many "specialty" tools as possible as they make various jobs much easier and some jobs can't be done without the special tools.
Yes sir, Mancini has them. You clamp in onto the torsion bar with the tang facing down. Tighten it up on the bar and then strike the tang with a hammer. I have one somewhat similar. I always put a block of wood in front of the tang, because I don't like hitting the tool directly. You sound like I am. When I need a tool, I buy the thing. I don't care if I only use it one time. If I ever need it again, I have it. Here's the link to the Mancini version. Very reasonable, too.
