Don’t have to completely remove torsion bars to pull LCA. Just need to unbolt bracket from LCA and hammer bracket off of torsion bar splines onto arm of bar. Loosen the torsion bar adjustment bolt first, though, to take tension off the the bars and LCA.
That’s not possible, given the rearward LCA bolt’s head is located behind the torsion bar bracket, and the bracket must be installed before putting any weight on the suspension...
Replacing the control arm bushings is only crappy part about this job...they can be a bear to get out, which is why a lot of people just buy new control arms with new bushings already installed. However, I replaced all of mine. Torch, chisel, hammer, and hacksaw were all useful for getting the old ones out. New ones press in without issue. Also, the #2 LCA bushing is in the frame. In can be pressed in and out using a threaded rod, couple of big washers and nuts, and appropriately sized sockets.
Not quite sure what you mean by it not being possible, it worked fine for me. You never want to tighten the lower control arm bolts to spec without the arm being under full load.
I'm struggling here too, how do I torque that LCA bolt but also have the TB bracket installed which appears to block it from me being able to get a wrench on it? Otherwise, I can torque it with the bracket out of the way but that wouldn't be at ride height.
