Installing torsion bar adjusters?

[440beep]

How easy is it to install new torsion bar adjusters? Is it as easy as simply jacking the car up, taking tension off the control arms, remove the torsion bar adjuster bolts, then slip out the adjusting plates. To install the new ones is just the opposite? I've got the new PST ones, and I'm keen to get them in.

Working on the 69? Yup...but what's wrong with the old adjusters? If they are rusty nasty dirty, then it's not going to be quite that easy. Lube them up well and clean them as much as possible. I also like to used some kind of penetrating oil and let them sit for a day or so

Nothing looks wrong with the old ones, however, the bolt on one side is bigger/longer than the other and they are not adjusted equally. So being the **** kind of guy I am, I prefer to have the adjusters the same.

Is my thought process that easy to get the old ones out/new ones in?

Yup

I would also put some anti-seize on the new ones going in
