T-bar install

[old guys rule]

I have read through all the posts on T bar installing and have to say I'm more confused than ever. I have an early 60's motors manual and according to it all the prep needed is to remove uca bumper with body up on jacks and suspension in full rebound position. Then release all T bar tension. Install bar, grease etc and lower the car to the floor and adjust ride height. Posts advise several other procedures. Does anyone out there have a complete step by step mandatory procedure? Car is a 63 B.

That’s actually pretty correct. “Sometimes” people need an extra 1/2” clearance or something. On my last torsion bar install, I removed the upper bumpers, removed the adjuster bolts, jacked the car way up….and still needed a HUGE crescent wrench on the end of the torsion bar to get that little bit extra clearance….then they slipped in…twice (forgot the boots the first time…oof!)

Where did you need extra clearance? The boot part was funny though, it was like looking in the mirror LOL! No need to losen any thing else?
