Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

I bought the OEM Miller T Bar tool many years ago and with it (or similar), I've never had a problem removing a torsion bar. Once the K is out, it should back together pretty easy. I've got a picture on my wagon thread showing the dropped K with the steering box and part of the suspension. Hardest part was getting down to remove the K bolts - the legs and back don't work like they used to!

I will have to get creative with the torsion bars when i pull it apart.

Something else I just thought about... (see thats what this thread is about, the entertainment value of watching me fumble thru as I start on something then notice I am missing items to complete the work lol)... I have no wheels and tires to put this front end down on. And I need those so I can measure roughly where I want the engine to sit again. I do have a rough idea from the original dropping of the engine a few pages back.

I need to see what the front end of my 69 barracuda is worth (small bolt pattern with drum front brakes), see if I can trade it for a set of wheels (5x4.5) with rotten tires. Definitely need to start selling parts which I have pulled out.
