Mickey mouse has removed every single torsion bar it's ever come up against.

I also have one of those factory Miller Special Tools, torsion bar removal tool.
It's a heavy duty, well manufactured tool, for the removal of some really stuck toesion bars.
Without that tool i wouldn't have been able to get some bars out of cars, that i had to work on at the shop, or wrecking yards.
Yes, sometimes the home made, Mickey mouse, tool may work for you, but in a lot of instances they won't.
And by the way, the Miller tool uses big,1/2 diameter bolts, and not 1/4 inch, like one other poster wrote about, for his tool.
Have no idea where he came up with that kind of measurement.
Mine has been beat on many times, to get stuck bars out out their mounts.

I have been making them for years. They are made from 1"X 1" steel with a knurled handle. .The tool uses 4 contact points to clamp on the bar (the factory tool only has 3. Also the tool has 2 3/8 grade 8 bolts instead of the factory 1/4 inch bolts. I have them available here http://www.custommachinecomponents.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?page=3&id=8

I'm going to simply say this. Your tool worked for me when all the DIY Mickey Mouse methods were just a waste of time. My T-bars were IN THERE!!
Nice product. Thanks.

BTW, I learned something when using this tool. You really, REALLY (!!!) to need to crank down on the bolts to way beyond the tightness you think you need. Those GR 8's can take it. Then it works like a charm with the handy old BFH.

It's not surprising why many choose to post less and less at this place.

Bought one off Ebay. Just slid up and down the torsion bar, never even budged it. Couldn't tighten it enough. Makes a good paperweight to hold instructions.
