Just got finished using my new torsion bar unloading tool built by Jim Hupy and sold by Applied. I'M IMPRESSED! I have used three different tools, a C type, a U bolt similar to Jim's but not nearly as stout and a home brew one. The others don't hold a candle to Jim's and made the job a nightmare It made the work go from white knuckle affair to a one hand on the wheel drive (almost, anyway). My suggestion, if you do the work yourself and need an un loader tool, is to spring for the one from Applied. You'll thank yourself when the need arises to use the tool. JMHO
