As above, unless the beam has been replaced / apart recently then removing the torsion bars is likely to be a complete pig. I've done a couple now (first here Rear beam ...the good and the bad (306oc.co.uk) and they required a lot of heat, hammering, pullers, more hammering, swearing. Some have to resort to 20 tonne presses. It never would have been possible with the beam on the car so unless you're prepared to potentially remove the whole beam n open up a can of worms around bearings & worn beam tubes I'd leave it be. Also, some of the parts, like offset washers, aren't that easy to get hold of now. I know of one beam rebuilder who was getting them specially made.
