early a body torsion bar ?

If you take a pipe wrench and grab the round OD of the torsion bar socket, you can push down with all your might and line it up with the hex end of the bar. Then it will slide right in if the frame is not sagging. I found out the frame thing when I had it supported at a different location. I had the jack stands under the K-member and it didnt want to move at all. I put the jackstands behind the front wheel wells and it must have kept the bar alignment better as it was very easy.
