Iv got hold of a 10lb one now also a 20lb one just incase, lol. i have also been referred to the socket and long bolt method though im a bit unsure on that
Re: Different ways of lowering a torsion bar..? - Foxy-jim - 23-02-2012
Is that to get the front plate off?
Re: Different ways of lowering a torsion bar..? - puglove - 23-02-2012
no to pull the torsion, put a socket (bigger than the torsion) put a long bolt through socket in to torsion with a washer start winding and it should pull the bar into the socket,
Dont no how well this works mind and tbh it sounds like a good way to snap a bolt in there!
Re: Different ways of lowering a torsion bar..? - Foxy-jim - 23-02-2012
I put an m8 bolt into the torsion bar and pulled it off with the slide hammer.
To get the front plate off I wedged in screw drivers and wound in an m12 bolt to wind the plate off.
