Torsion Bar Removal.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the tool required to unload the torsion bars on my 91 S-10 4X4? I called a couple local autzones, but those fools never have a clue or the proper tool.

I have done them with out the tool, support the frame with jack stands and let the front wheels hang. Most of the preload will be off of the adjusters and they will be easy to loosen.

Re: Torsion Bar Removal.

Well, I got the tool off of ebay for 100.00, as soon as I get the torsion bars off, I suppose I will sell the tool, I won't be needing it after this. So let me get this whole ordeal straight, put the fron up on jack stands (well the entire frame is up on blocks, so i suppose that step is done), install the tool and tighten just enough to take the load off of the keys, loosten the key bolts and take off the tool. Push the bars forward and then out towards he rear of the car. If I am missing anything, please let me know. And anyone wishing to buy the tool from me, please feel free to e-mail me at leo@coreelite.com, I take paypal.
