I have not done this but I am almost positive the torsion bars are going to move, violently I am afraid. You would definitely need to have the shell fully up to have the least tension on the system and I would try to tie the tension arm in place for safety. You should be able to use a 2x4 of wood to support the shell in the corner you are working on. If there is something in the wall (possibly a shim?) you can stabilize it by using something of equal size to push the old bolt out, thus filling the void with the temporary thing, reverse the process for putting in the new bolt and washers.
While you are at it, get some stainless steel bolts and washers so they do not rust, one of the ugly things about a TM are those bolts all rusted and right on the white part of the unit for all to see.
You might try to get hold of Eddie at the factory who will give you a step by step instructions- he is a breathing encyclopedia on these campers!
