lowering torsion bar

I'm thinking about making a puller to lower my torsion bars instead of whacking them out with a massive hammer.

Pretty sure the threaded hole on the torsion bar is an M8 thread. Be careful though, if the beam is that seized you'll pull the threads.

I've never had success with the pullers on beams that have not been apart before. Always hammers/slide hammer/hydro press with copious amounts of PlusGas.
