I don't remember him saying that there were "issues" with those allen screws. IIRC ..all he had was a large allen-wrench and just rapped-that with a larger hard-rubber hammer to tighten it.

I am no means perfect , but I try to create a good product and service for the price .What did you do bend it? I certainly don't appreciate you trying to slander me on the forum. I been making these for years without any problems. My Feedback and volume of sales on these speaks for itself http://www.ebay.com/itm/mopar-torsion-ba...039&vxp=mtr This is bad carma on your part.

I make each and every tool I sell,I'm not a big factory or something. Its possible that 1 might have slipped through ? but the buyer could have contacted me if there was a problem. I'm a honest guy ,I would have fixed it . I take my business seriously and am hurt of the remarks. I could easily be offensive and point out the weakness's in his particular design but I am not going to do that.

Easy removal after that. -Daty Exactly what I do, been removing torsion bars for 40 plus years and never used a tool, just loosen the LCA and knock back the arm with a decent hammer or lever back with a pry bar (we call them pinch bars down under)and the TB just pops out, never had a problem. 8067376-winacharger1974.jpg (215 downloads) Last edited by fullonmopar; 03/09/14 09:07 AM.

Well worth the money when you take a swing with the BFH and that T-bar slides right out.
