    okay guys, i did try to research this and couldnt find it. Do i just need a normal socket to crank my torsion bars or so i need a specific kind of key? would it be something i get at autozone?

    Every one I have done has been a socket. There is a lock nut at the top that you have to loosen to allow the bolt to turn easier. Try to make sure you turn them both the same amount.

    Yea it's a 22mm, right? Just a bolt and two nuts. There's a write up in one of these forums about it, with pictures. Don't know exactly where off hand.

    Will be attacking this myself in a couple weeks, I'll take pics then if you need.
