torsion bar socket alignment
Yes, I sprayed copius(?) amounts of liquid wrench on these and did release the tension. The left side came out without too much of a fight, but on the right I ended up dropping the K and pulling it off the torsion bar. Probably just rust!
I don't really think I have a problem..talked with a frame man today and he said I should/would see evidence of this, whether collision or otherwise. I was thinking a shim would work if readjustment alone didn't. I didn't fool with it a lot but I pretty sure I'll be OK.
As far as being all convertibles, I don't think so or it would have been brought up here before.
Thanks...
