Torsion bar adjustment
Hello,
I was looking for advice on how not to snap my bolts when adjusting my t-bars. should I spin the bolt first with the impact without a wrench on it. The truck has been oil sprayed religiously and not wheeled (yet lol) so the bolts look good, no rust. I am a little hesitant to use the torch with soo much oil everywhere, don't want to burn the new rig, any suggestion
