[DML] Re: HELP! My torsion bar is coming out!

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could probably leave it alone and it won't get any worse. Put a
dab of nail polish on it so you can see if it moves. Don't try to
smack it with a hammer to move it back. The best thing to do would be
to remove it using the proper tools, clean everything up, and then
reinstall. You might have trouble sliding the anchor bracket off the
splines, being that near the end of the splines they might have
twisted. Work the bracket off carefully and, if you have to, file the
splines so the bracket slides on and off easily but not loosely. If
you do remove it make sure the socket in the hinge that the torsion
bar goes into is clean and nothing is inside to interfere with the
torsion bar seating all the way in.
