People really dont seem to understand this whole torsion bar thing and "nick method"
The nick method simply means lowering it by only removing one end of the torsion bar, hence only having 3 set "nicks" it will slot back in on....this in no way involves ruining any bearings, the reason people say it ruins bearings is because often, people smash the arms off in the process of doing the "nick method".... alot of people also smash the arms off in just the same way to get the bars out and do it "properly"....
More to the fact, if the bearings are good, they will stay good, if they are bad, removing the arms will cause them to fall apart...either way, you should have replaced the bearings as they were fooked anyway....I have smashed arms off a countless ammount of beams before I had my torsion bar puller, many of which are members on here, so feel free to come foward if they have had beam bearing failures since, because id put money on not a single one of them having that issue!
Its amazing how rumours travel on forums!
