I'm struggling horribly to get one of my torsion bars out of my 68 Barracuda so I can finish the front suspension. The torsion bar is stuck in the housing under the floor (on the subframe). I've heated the housing with a torch, soaked it as much as I can in PB blaster, hit it with a sledgehammer, hit it with a punch and hammer, and nothing seems to get it out. I've been working at this one piece for I don't even know how long.

I ended up cutting it in half (since I was replacing it anyhow) and tried driving it out from the end with the sledgehammer. I've even been hitting it left and right (and up and down) to see if I can dislodge it. But, its not coming out.

Any more ideas on how to bust this thing loose? I'm really at my wit's end with this one torsion bar - its got me frustrated and its holding everything up for me.
