You need the torsion key unloading tool to hold the weight of the torsion bar.

oh no i already got the tension of the bars. the bolt and the holder are loose. i just cant get the keys off the bars. im starting to think that they are pressed in. i have no clue i drive a ford

The keys arent pressed in, but have been under a ton of pressure for along time, I hit mine with a hammer a few times when i put in my drop keys and that did the truck.
