I was at a junkyard removing a disc brake set-up from a 73 Scamp.  Decided 
to pull the LCAs to keep as spares.  Got thje 1st torsion bar out OK (with 
the factory tool).  Nothing would budge the other.  Even after removing the 
LCA, the TB wouldn't budge out of the socket.  Ended up cutting the TB. 
Later on ended up pitching the LCA as I never could get the piece of TB out 
of the socket - used lots of Kroil, some heat, clamping the TB and beating 
on the LCA.  I guess it was just plain "rust welded" in place.
