TTI 1 7/8 Race Header Install help

In my car with 1.14 inch torsion bars I had to take out the bar on that side to get my TTIs in....no amount of spinning the slip tube and banging on it with a rubber hammer would it go in.
Wasn't wanting to remove the torsion bar but we'll see, might have to. This car still has the original 318 torsion bars.
