Answers:    Simple. Look for a cotter pin at the very back of the torsion bar support. Remove the cotter pin. You may enjoy to loosen the tension first. To do this, wager on off the tensioner at the reverse of the bars. Once the tensioners are loosened bad and the pins removed, the bars will come out. When installing them, install them beside the grove in the termination of the bars horizontal. NOTE;
After you install the bar and tighten the adjuster back to the right increase with the lower control arms vertical, You may own to readjust them the next light of day. They have a partiality to raise overnight by them selves. Oh, and one other point. Don't nick or gash the bars beside hammers or wrenches. They will start to crack at these places and break. But you can sledge hammer them on the ends.
I have done this on a few older Mopars
It is not easier said than done
get yourself a service instruction manual
Quoted word for word from my 68 Plymouth Service Manual.

(Personal note not within manual, This tool clamps down over the torsion railing with a few bolts and have a place on it to hit it with a 4lb sledge. Without it, this is a exceptionally difficult job.)

Where the torsion block goes into the frame on the backbone side there is a clip its not a cotter pin remove that.In the middle of your lower control arm within is an adjuster you must back that past its sell-by date make sure your vehicle is properly supported until that time doing so.There is a tool for removing torsion bars JC Whitney may still deal in it.I have never needed the tool but I hold removed more than one set of torsion bars that be stubborn in coming loose.I would recomend getting a manuel previously attempting it but if you don 't get one you should stil be capable of remove them.
