Remove Torsion Bars and dismantle both upper shells?

[John4John4]

Hello ALL, I have a 1999 3023 model and much of the wood in the skeletal structure is rotten and despite hours of trying to fix and add bracing, the 2-part door never stays aligned and the top shells hyper extend and require ratchet straps to keep from doing that.

I am SO frustrated using this and see no way to fix all the alignment and such issues....THUS, I want to DISMANTLE the top two shells and just build on top of the 23' bottom "tub" and get rid of the two upper-half shells.

I know this mean loosening and removing the torsion bars. I want to SAFELY remove them and then dismantle the upper two shells. I would also take out the windows and AC unit and all that upper stuff for reuse.

Q: How do I safely uninstall the torsion bars?

Thoughts? THANK YOU!!!!
