I haven't been following this thread but it looks you're trying to get your 
t-bars out. You won't like this, but the ones on my '65 Coronet were seized 
in place at the rear frame anchors. The control arms moved freely on the 
bars, so I ended up welding up an engine support fixture, hanging the 
engine, and dropping the K-frame out. Then I cut the end off an old t-bar 
(using a grinder--the Sawzall won't cut it), stuck it in the rear anchor to 
have a surface to hammer on, and beat it as hard as I could with a 10lb 
sledge. The t-bars eventually crept out. That's a worst-case scenario and I 
don't recommend it unless you have to. One of the K-frame nuts came 
untacked inside the subframe while I was doing this job, so I had to fix 
that too.
