Torsion Bar Tool procedure?

Can't seem to find a good process anywhere on how to actually use a torsion bar tool...

Anybody care to elaborate?

I have one like this:

Wait...I think I got it...

You push the key up towards the cab with the tool, then loosen the adjuster bolt until that assembly can turn and fall out (forgive me I haven't been under my truck in a while), then slowly loosen the tool until the key is loose?

you got it

Pretty much got it. With the key pushed up with the tool you can remove the bolt and then the threaded block gets pushed out from the side. With those rekoved undo the that tool until key is no longer loaded.

 

[chevy power]

yes but you install the tool on the second indention on the key? the indention closer to the actual bar?

 

[JollyGreen]

Yes. It would be the only other indention on the key itself.

 

[ChrisAU]

Good to know.
