I use a c clamp , that darn tool is expensive you just need a little pressure to unload the keeper

clamp works perfect use a air hammer to knock it out of the crossmember

Use a GOOD C-clamp. Don't let it slip!

Used a c-clamp on torsion bars a few times, just be slow and careful backing it off.

Take the saddle pad off the Cclamp so the bolt stays sitting in the the divot in the Tbar key. Don't be rough when you turn the bolt so the clamps stay in place on top of the Xmember.
