I bought new keys that i want to install. I know that theres a torsion bar unloader tool that im supposed to use for this, but i can't find anyone that rents them out. I've heard just to jack the front up and it should take the load off the t-bars and remove the keys by just unscrewing the bolt. Is this true? and/or safe?

yeah you can do it that way to unload the bars, but i dont recall how the keys come out so ill just stop talkin

yeah you can do that, but i dont remember either... sorry, i did one, and i have a memory of hearing "clunk" and it sliding off, my friend did the other

alright thats good news i think i can figure out how to get the key off. i just didnt wanna get smacked if the torsion bar unloaded on me and lose some teeth or somethin that would suck

I just took mine out and it would be a lot easier with an unloader tool, but I used a 2-legged bearing puller to get the nut out then let the key down the rest of the way.

I don't know if that is a very good idea. I did mine with the right tool and it still scared me. If you do it make sure things aren't going to go flying around when the bolt does come out. I'm not sure the keeper will let you do it anyway?
