I just took a 8" c-clamp and cut off the swivel on the threaded end and it worked great..

I have a 2 arm 5ton...but I dont think that's enough tonnage??

With mine it didn't really take much to move the keys with the c-clamp. I don't know if I'd take a chance with one of those 2arm pullers though.. C-clamps are really cheap at the harware store, it think I paid $5 for it after I couldn't find a place that sold or rented the torsion tool.

Ya me niether bro, I think I may go the long way and just take down the ctrl arm with the floor jack to lower it down ez. Heading to south dallas to pick up a new torsion bar, I finally found my vibration issue

Note to self, mark the torsion bar indexes when you are removing them and reinstall them the same way they came out! Otherwise the load reversal=vibration

Too much work bro. Just go with the c-clamp. The torsion tool is essentially that, a c-clamp with the rounded threaded end..

The gear puller is perfect for the torsion bars. I cant see any danger with using it. I have done a few trucks with it. and its free at autozone
