I have searched all the other torsion bar threads (inc the main one here FAQ) but can't find the answer
I'm fitting Iron Man torsion bars. In the instructions, and even in the video (at 17 mins in this video Iroman USA ) they feed the bar through the cross member, then align the front cup T bar bracket splines, then do the same on the rear adjuster arm. They then fit the front onto the bolts, then do up the rear adjuster and adjusting bolt itself.
The problem I have is that this won't allow the front cup to clear the shorter captive bolt.
I have tried
Anyone got any tips to get this to fit? The bar is fully in the splines on both ends, and I cannot get the captive shorter bold on the control arm to wiggle enough to make it fit.
The only option I can see is to cut the shorter bolt off to remove it and feed a replacement in through the control arm from the cup side.

I have tried
- The method in the video
- Attaching the front cup - doesn't leave enough room to attach the rear adjuster arm
- Attach the rear arm then the front cup without the torsion bar - can't then align the splines or get the torsion bar in
