torque rods? 700 1988

Hi
I have been helping a friend with his 88 740 sedan. We got it running, and he was finally able to drive it. He was going home the other day and all of a sudden the drive shaft started rubbing against the body. He stopped and had the car towed home. After examining the rear suspension it appears the bolt that went through a very large rubber bushing had came unscrewed. The bushing was attached to a rod assembly that pushed in and out of another bushing that was further foward towards the front of the car. There was another like assembly on the other side of the car. I believe these are called the torque rods. Anyway the axle had twisted up so that the drive shaft was no longer inline. The bolt is still through one side of the axle bracket. It is skewed on an angle and cannot be removed. Has anyone removed the whole rod assembly? How hard is it to remove and put back? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Brad
