yeah, you can squeeze the torsion bar clip with the 2 pins pointing at you. torsion bars that have never been out can be a pain, may need to coax it out with a hammer, but be sure to protect it from mushrooming the torsion bar. ever try putting a round peg in a square hole?

Thanks for the info, with the help of my friend we got the LCAs off and cleaned up. We recoated them with cosmoline as they came from the factory.

 Look's really nice. So how was the rebuild, any tips? That's my next project along with the steering box.

Took my friend and I about 5-6 hours to take it apart and put back together, and another 4-5 hours to do the clean up and resto work.
