Ok so i lowered the front on the luv today. Cranked down the torsion bars and im riding on bumpstops now. Gonna probably end up cutting those down a little. But i wanna reindex. How exactly do i remove the torsion bar. Just remove the adjustment bolt or do i need to remove the bolt on the front of the lower control arm? Or Both?

All you gotta do is remove the adjuster bolt and pull it back. You dont have to remove anything on the control arm, the little arm thats bolted to it has splines and you re-index it there.
