Remove the caps on the end of the trailing arms, use a slide hammer and screw into the torsion bar and pull them out, thats the way i do it.

do you mean rear beam?

if so, 18mm nuts under the back seat area under the car, may be stubborn.

make sure you disconnect load valve, brake pipes and handbrake cables before you undo the fixings!!

may also pay to get a mate in the car on the other end of those bolts,the brackets are not always up to doing what they are designed to an can just cut in to the rear bench,just makes then awkward to undo on your own otherwise.
