Any one got a good trick for putting the springs back in the front torsion tubes? Linkpin

Push them together real tight at the end, and put a zip tie/ hose clamp about an inch or less from the end, as tight as you can. When you push it through the square in the middle, it will stop the zip tie and let the springs stay together and push on through.
That's what I did, worked great for me.

I also grind just a little on mine to give them a little angle on the sides to help guide them through the center.

I know you already have yours in now but I put the spring leaves into the arm and snug the jam nut down that way I can use the arm as a handle and slide them in to the beam ( i also grind the ends down slightly like Fire bug said )
