Torsion Bar BOLT replacement
If the torsion bar bolt is removed, will the torsion bar remain in place and allow for easy installation of the new bolt....or is it going to wing all out of place.
I read the threads about adjusting torsion bars, and have found the the top nut on one of my torsion bars turns when the bolt is turned... i believe this indiacates that the bot should be replaced.
Should i replace both Torsion bar bolts or just the one that is supposedly fuxed up?

If you undo the adjuster bolts there shouldn't be any tension on the bars so they won't fly out. The anchor arm on the back might come off but it only fits on one way so it will be easy to put back.
As for one or both, if the bolts are cheap enough I would do both, chances are the other one is just as rusty.

why do you beleive that the bolt is messed up if the nut turns? that happens, you dont wnat it siezed to the bolt..... there are 2 nuts on top of the adjuster and they are supposed to lock the otehr one in place.... it acts as a locknut to each other.....
