Suspension advice needed.

Ok here is where I am at. Rotors,shock,splash shield etc removed. Backed off the adjusting bolt but will eventually take it out completely. I figure it will be easier to unscrew if I support the control arm with a jack. Will have one of those at my disposal later today. Now my plan, once that bolt is out is to disconnect the lower ball joint from the spindle, while supported with the jack and gently lower the jack, as with a coil spring suspension. Then deal with the spindle and ball joints on the bench later. Is this a bad idea? Is removing the adjusting bolt enough to completely release the load from the torsion bars? I would love to get those control arms out tonight so I can bring em in to get sandblasted this week. And then the new polyurethane bushings installed.

Thanks
Jeff
