Hans,
Your solution is the best. But in order to remove the half shafts, there is a much simple way.
1) Put a cric ( hydraulic or scissor) in the middle of the car where there is this arm tensionning the rear suspension. 2) Remove the 3 nuts holding this tensionning arm in position. 3) Lower the cric and hence the tensionning arm ( he might need some persuasion to go down) 4) spray with wd40 or penetrating oil the torsion bars where they go into the suspension arm and in the middle. 5) between the suspension arm and the sills cover, introduce a flat screwdriver and remove the little cover that should be there to close the hole of the torsion bar. 6) Then push the torsion bar from inside the car, out to the sills cover. This for about 2 cm. Yes, you should have enough space and no, it's not easy but with the penetrating oil it should go
Then you don't have to work against the torsion bar to lower the arms. Use a long rod and it should go
If you still have problem to remove the passanger side half shaft ( the long one) then you can try to remove the rear middle engine support and dissassemble the half shaft over there
