Installing torsion bars- shouldn't this be the easy part?

Shouldn't need the "torsion bar removal" tool to install since easier to tap on the end of the T-bar. I never needed that tool to remove them. Just pry the LCA away from the K-frame (remove front nut first and wire retainer at end of T-bar). If the pivot bolt is stuck in the K-frame, tap its end w/ a hammer. Once the LCA and T-bar slide back, let it rotate so the T-bar aft hex no longer aligns w/ the base's hole, then tap the LCA forward. Since the T-bar can no longer go forward, it will slide out of the LCA. On install, if you pack too much grease, you may build up air pressure. Grease is just to stop corrosion, both at front and rear. I hope you installed the better polyurethane rear boot.
