Agreed, but I also recommend, if possible, use the proper "stiff metal"
bars to torque up the springs.
I did it twice, once with the proper bars, and once with half-inch round
bar steel that fit just as well but was much more flexible.
The flex in the rods when putting the torque on makes the jobs more
difficult...
