With the wheels back on and everything buttoned up in the rear, I moved to the front. Jack it up, put it on stands, and remove the wheels.



First stop was the torsion bars and keys.



I spent the $120 on the proper tool having learned my lesson over the years that I would pay 10X that amount in frustration and/or damage otherwise. The tool worked great, especially with an air tool to crank it up and down. I placed the tool on the key and cranked it up to take pressure of the nut that holds the key bolt. Once I removed the nut, I uncranked the key, completely unloading it.



At first I struggled with trying to push the torsion bar forward, but all it took was some PB Spray and jiggling the key at the same time I pushed the bar forward to get it out.
