Torsion Bar Install

Another example of why this site is so great. Old threads don't get deleted so they can come back to life for further discussion....

One thing I'll add I've not seen anyone talk about regarding installing new torsion bars. I always scrape the paint or powder coating completely off the hex ends right down to bare metal. Since you're (hopefully) going to grease them up anyway, no need to worry about rust. Sometimes the paint or powder coat can be pretty thick and make installing or even removing the next time difficult. By removing the paint or powder coat, you assure an easy install and removal.
