torsion bar removal tool - bashbarnard - 24-06-2017
So ill be doing another torsion bar soon. This will be my 103948575th one ive done now and i still dont have a bloody tool to pull the bars. I usually make a bodged up puller then heat and hit all in one hit. Is there an actual tool? I dont like slide hammers they are to violent for it imo. Any links, suggestions etc. If not ill weld up another puller and actually make a good one this time.

Threaded bar, large socket, washers n nuts - any specific tool is jus a glorified version

I have a tool that looks like this. I bought it about 3 years ago £50 and never used it. If you what it I can bring it to pugfest for you.

Pretty much what ive migged up in the past. I think this time though i need some high grade steel. used 10.1 (i think) last time ill see if i can buy anything a bit stronger this time as ive snapped them in the past. Also im not going to pugfest

I can post it. I very much think you wouldn't break this it's sold not bodge to gever properly made using a lave. Don't use a slide hammer for this. I don't want anything for it I'll never use it

id rather break medium tensile bolts than strip the threads in the torsion bars tbh

Already messaged him. Saves me making one at the end of the day.

never managed to strip the threads in a torsion bar, however have snapped quite a few studs trying to pull the torsion bars out.
these days I don't bother messing about, knock the arms off and if the torsion bar stays in use the press to ping them out.
