Question Control Arm/Torsion bar

Needing to slide power steering rack through passenger side frame for removal. The lower control arm attachment at the chassis is preventing the rack from sliding far enough to remove. Would like to disconnect the lower control arm but note that there is pressure from the torsion bar. The front of the vehicle is being supported with jack stands at the driver lower control arm, passenger side of front crossmember and both sides of the frame just rearward of the front wheels.

The front wheels are off the vehicle and the passenger lower control are is hanging down unsupported. Like advice about disconnecting this lower control arm.

Thanks
Casey

It does look like the gearbox will not come out but if you rotate it back and forth you can remove it without removing any other parts. It has to come out on the drivers side.
