Disk brake swap torsion bar??

Just swapped a Kelsey Hayes brake system in my 66. no need to loosen the torsion bars. just support car under the lower control arm, with the weight of the car on jacks stands. you can easily pop the upper ball joint, the lower bolts in. Just did it.

Exactly. Lower ball joint needs to be changed on big bolt swaps and to use the proper bolts the early lower ball joints should have the mounting holes opened to 9/16" to use the proper bolts, BUT none of that requires loosening the t-bar.

Every write up I've seen says step one is to remove the tension on the T-bars, which is why i did it on mine and it was a breeze, besides it takes hardly no time to do.
