I really want to have a go at a torsion bar, sounds like my kinda job! Heat and a hammer hasnt failed me yet for stuck things!

That and you gotta shout at it. It wont work if you dont shout at it.
Doesnt even own a 306.

I had to beat the trailing arms off my 306 with a sledgehammer. There was no other way for it!
