remove the tension on torsion bars

It is recommended to lift the front end to reduce stress on the threads as you turn the adjuster bolt. I always spray some penetrating fluid on the bolt to help with the years of crud and rust. Then counterclockwise relieves the tension on the bar. If you are taking everything apart it doesn't matter if you take the bolt right out, but it can just be loosened all the way to the end and left in the LCA too.
