I don't think torsion bar replacement has to be difficult. I'm trying to do this without any direction from TM. I should try sending Sonja another e-mail, but I'm sure once I figure this out it won't be difficult.

I managed to remove and replace the original torsion bar just fine. Installing a new one can't be too difficult. My big concern will likely be making sure the upper shell doesn't fall and collapse during the replacement.

Another method to support the upper shell may be to raise BOTH sides above the height of the box, then insert a 2x4 and let the upper shell rest on the 2x4. Once I get this done, and I will, I'll post a step-by-step for others.
