GTV6 torsion bars

["Allen Mitchell" <allenom@domain.elided>]

Hello,
Has anyone else encountered, shall we say, "resistance" when extracting the 
torsion bars from a GTV6/Milano?  Yes, the suspension was completely 
unloaded, in fact the lower A arm was removed completely.  The rear splines 
on both torsion bars had rusted up so solidly that we had to "gently coax" 
the bar rearward by "tapping lightly" on the front end.  I made my own 
"factory tool" but it simply would not budge.  I cannot imagine that the 
real factory tool would have been able to break these things loose, as it 
took considerable "coaxing" to get it out.  Anyone else care to either: 
a)tell me what a clod I am, or b) recount their own tale of torsion-bar woe?
Thanks,
Al
