Abstract:
A method and tool assembly ( 10 ) for unloading and reloading spring energy from a torsion bar ( 11 ) in a torsion bar suspension system of a motor vehicle. The tool assembly ( 10 ) includes a generally C-shaped body ( 14 ) having a screw shaft ( 24 ) threaded through a boss ( 22 ) in a lower section ( 18 ) thereof. An anti-rotation stem ( 38 ) includes a knurled flat face ( 40 ) which increases versatility of the tool assembly ( 10 ) by enabling anti-slip operation with various vehicle types. A counter-torque tool perch ( 46 ) extends from the lower section ( 18 ) of the tool body ( 14 ) for applying a counter-rotational torque to the body ( 14 ) during use of the tool assembly ( 10 ).

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein said step of applying a counter-torque includes centering the counter-torque at a location laterally offset from the screw shaft.
