out of commission, cant drive my dart anymore

I started on the torsion bar tension and stopped because i am not sure on which way to go to loosen the tension. Im ASSUMING its the normal counter clockwise to remove the tension from them? Also, if it IS counter clockwise, is it that way on both sides or is one side reversed..?

Counter clockwise. It should be obvious because the bolt gets easier to turn as you release the tension. Also remove the upper control arm bumps stops to allow the suspension to drop completely.
