Can't Load Torsion Bar?

If I where in your shoes I'd be putting new bushings in while I had the arms out. Glad you got the problem figured out though.

aplly a little grease on the contact surface of the bars for future removal.

Yup, new bushings arrive tomorrow. Might as well get it all done at once.

Absolutely, will definitely be using anti-seize. I'm fully expecting the frame to rust in half before I have to tear these torsion bars out, but you never know.
