Troy,
Were you using a centering tool while you were using your ratchet?

You might THINK about using downward pressure on the 8 foot torsion bar in front of the bracket that the arm is in. I'm thinking that with out a centering tool for the arm to rotate on, when loading or unloading, the arm is pushing down on the saddle, and up on the outer side. Maybe an anchor in the concrete floor and ratchet the bar back, so you can put the bolt back.

Just something to think about?

I could be wrong!
