Has anyone had to remove the two torsion bars? The short ends go through holes in the "pipe" at the front of the seat. That "pipe" or tube is welded to a couple of brackets. The weld on mine broke. I had it welded today, but for the life of me, I can't get the 2nd torsion (spring) bar into its hole.
Anyone got an idea? I'll try and post a photo. See the tube? There are 2 springs poking through it. I can't get the damn 2nd one in. HELP

Saturday evening, I'm at my wit's end... I've tried everything, down to putting a hose clamp on it to help get it into the right position to go through both holes in the tube. I even ground a point on the tip to make it find the hole easier. Finally, I call my son in law to see if he can see what I'm missing. He comes over Sunday morning to lend a hand, and as I'm showing him what they are, where they belong, and what methods I've been trying, the 2nd bar simply snaps into place.
Frustrating, but I believe I saved myself about $1200. And it's done well.

My seat gave me issues as well but not in the same spot as the pictures shown.
My problem was with the bar that adjusts the front part of the seat height.
I am VERY lucky that my dad has been a welder for 20+ years.
He took a look at it and within 20 min we had it fixed.
If you know someone who welds it shouldn't take more than 10 min if you have the seat out.
