and...
when you take the torsion bars out it releases the pressure and they move down!
do you put them back in in the position they come out - as seems possible, or do you have to re-apply the torsion, which seems difficult!
perhaps should of left them in, bt I wanted to see whether they needed greasing!!!!
the grease seems obvious now - and I was told rubber grease for the bushes

best to put them back at the same angle (unless you want o lower or left them). once the tension has been released. you should have measured this. best way is to put a trolley jack under them and jack them up and then put some pressure on the end plate to pull them over the lip (also use a large screw driver, but be VERY VERY careful, as there is alot of force in them if they slip!!)

Use plenty of Moly black grease ..... you need a protractor to set up the correct angle for the trailng arm.
