Well, it kinda means you don't understand the concept of torque very well....
Using a strap on the ratchet like you have it setup isn't giving you much of a mechanical advantage. You need to be pulling/pushing on the ratchet from further away from the bolt. Get a breaker bar and put a piece of pipe on the end. That little bit of extra leverage will do way more for you than all that rope tugging.

Yeah I even tried my Neighbors brand new Matco Impact, and it would not budge....But with the breaker bar and two of us on it, and a little heat, it came loose...Oh and by the way did I mention it looks oh so sweet....
I cant believe how much of a difference or how far down the *** end came down with just doing the eccentrics....! The ride height is perfect now, why would you even screw with the torsion bars if you were not even tracking the car to lower your car..I dont know.....

Hi Guys,
I'm going to be taking a nice drive to Road America on Saturday. The local PCA is redoing Porsche Park on the outside of turn 1. There's some vintage racing event going on so it's $15 to get in. If you feel like driving up there, stop by and say hello. I can't caravan up with you unless you want to leave reeeeeeal early. Have fun,
Eric
