Torsion bar lowering.

[puglove]

you can't re-grease the inner bearing, if they need more grease they're shot.

if the bar is seized, you're not trying hard enough, and you wont be able to lower it properly anyway.

What the f*ck are you actually talking about, its never seized beyond the point of removal, that you cant "lower it the proper way" and if you think that you aint trying hard enough

That confuses me. I know that it isn't really possible to get my arm in with grease to do the in bearing but I put some on the shaft so hopefully that gets onto the bearing.

And as for the bearing being shot I disagree with that. From what I see the bearings don't have hardly any grease on them from factory which can't really help. So greasing them up in my eyes is a good thing obviously as long as the bearings are all ok.

And from my experience the torsion bar is quite often seized in the trailing arm which I can't see how you would get it out the axle without damaging too much. The way I do it wether it is right or wrong is use some heat on the training arm and then it usually comes out easy with a hit with a hammer

Totally agree frosty , Its much better to pull the bar with the trailing arm if its stiff, soak it in some good penetration oil , get some heat on it and tap it gently
eThis way you dont rip the threads out the end of the bar rendering it usless
