Does anyone know if the torsion bar unloading tool can be obtained at any of the nationwide auto parts stores such as autozone, as a loaner? If necessary, can a ball joint press be safely used?
Thanks,
Steve
I've got the green keys, just need the tool.

PM dmaxallitech, he has a loaner I believe. The locals might too. I have found were you can buy one for 75$ IIRC.....that reminds me I need to buy that darn thing so I dont have to scrounge one up to barrow again.

Edit: here is one to buy http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/otc7822a.html

Edit #2 Since I need to buy one anywho if you just need to use it once if you cant find a place that will loan you one I would be willing to buy it off you after you use it if you need to buy the thing.

If you have a ball joint press, use that. I use it when I do them.
