If my memory is correct I took a piece of pipe about 15 " long (make sure it fits fairly snug on the t-rod,and just work it in.

Torsion tool

I made this tool, the instructions were in the Fisher body book. I tried many things before deciding to make this but once made, installing and adjusting the torsion bars is very easy. Initially I had decided that setting a Bear trap was less dangerous, those torsion bars are strong.
