Zach came over tonight and we started to remove the suspension parts. The shocks, ball joints, and some of the lift brackets were easy to remove. Then we worked on the torsion bars and the control arms. I want to remove the control arms to have new bushings pressed in.

We sprayed lots of PB Blaster on the torsion bars adjuster bolts and then started to loosen them. We got both sides a little loose and then the nut/bolt tightened up and did not want to turn freely. We kept spraying more Blaster as we worked and eventually both bolts broke and punched matching holes up into the body.

We will be able to get this fixed as Zach knows how to weld, but we were both shocked that the bolts broke. Time to order some new adjuster bolts. Now we need to figure this out so it doesn't happen again.

Tomorrow we'll get back to work on removing the control arms. Then most of the front work will be done and we can think about lowering the rear suspension. That will be a piece of cake compared to the front.

If anyone has some wisdom about torsion bars feel free to share. I'd like to be able to help someone else avoid this in the future if they read some good tips here.
