Torsion Bar Removal & Installation
The tailgate must be misaligned or removed to get the torsion bar in or out. The foam sleeve also has to come off the inside end for the rod to come out of the hole, and there are 2 clamp brackets (430A32, available from Dennis Carpenter as
98430A30) bolted to the bottom that must be removed.
