Thats how I prep things Wayne!:lol: The right tools like a torsion bar clamp & a long breaker bar with 1/2 inch drive end, upper ball joint driver. To name a few Oh, and I always slice open my hand(s), at whatever I do, it seems like anymore, so heavy gloves might help.

Clamping down on the surface of the bar with a pair of vise grips or any tool that leaves marks or gouges on the steel is a No No. The clamp allows you to hammer on the clamp instead of the torsion bar. The ball joint is screwed into the upper A-Arm. It can be a bitch to remove. The ball joint socket allows you to 'grab' the joints hex flats and you can remove it with the special socket and the Air Gun.
