Of course on a lift with the body supported it's no problem to jack up the
wheels to their normal driving position and then remove the bar, at least
that's what my shop did.  

Usual home technique is to pry the bar out with the wheels hanging, not easy
to do with finesse from what I've heard.  Bob Rossato has done a few that
way, he can describe it better.
