What to do? :/ Re: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - aggyj17 - 22-10-2013 What have you used do far to get them out heat, wd4, hammer etc etc RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Danny2009 - 22-10-2013 Not using a big enough hammer RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - E_KEL95 - 22-10-2013 A f*ck of sledge, alotta patience and a shit load of wd40 RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - WiNgNuTz - 22-10-2013 Also a pair of broad shoulders helps! But yeah, sledge hammer FTW! RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - puglove - 22-10-2013 A f*cking big sludge hammer & a well supported car. If that dont work........... Then dont bother lol RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Darren123 - 22-10-2013 Tried a sledge and wd40, moving the car on the axle stands haha RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Darren123 - 22-10-2013 Went baiting at it again. No good. The arm has moved a few.mill and just won't move no more... RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Danny2009 - 23-10-2013 It will just got to keep at it, if it's started moving it will keep moving more whacks needed I found a lump hammer works better get a better swing behind it RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Matt306 - 23-10-2013 I remember when we did it to my 106, took a good hour hammering! RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Danny2009 - 23-10-2013 Only a hour your lucky lol RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Chris_90 - 23-10-2013 When i did it on the axle im rebuilding only took 30mins with the clarke strong arm, ask around see if any of your mates have got one defo helps out putting lots of pressure on why your whacking. If you carnt get one of them just alot of wacking is the only option with heat and i find plus gas is better than wd40 RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - zx_volcane - 23-10-2013 like the look of that strong arm! Last one I did made three attempts while on the car before dropping the beam and smacking on the floor with a sledgehammer that broke, and then going again with a bigger sledge. Still only managed to remove one end of the torsion bars. RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Jenkosowls - 23-10-2013 Which side you hitting? Generally drivers side is easier. You have removed the torx screws and arb? Try dabbing break fluid to the joints it penetrates well RE: Torsion bars will be the death of me. - Rippthrough - 23-10-2013 Make a puller to put some pressure on the other end of the torsion bar and then smack it from the other side.
