It is M10, but why buy that, use a length of threaded bar and a 32mm (IIRC) socket.

Screw the bar into the torsion bar, and thread on in this order, socket, washer, bolt, tighten the bolt and it will pull the bar out into the void in the inside of the socket, much easier and less violent.

The slide hammer si the 'correct' tool, but if i had both i woudl use the socket method
