Been attempting to lower the rear of this black zx
Ok so got one end off of each of the torsion bars, the good end where you might insert a slide hammer and joyfully tickle the tosrion bars out whilst sipping a delightful cup of tea.
The other end that has the threaded stud screwed into it and is covered by some sort of metal collar - can this collar be removed so I can use a drift to smash the bar out?
Otherwise what are my options for getting them out the other end?
Its been the worst job. This is attempt number 3, and ended up dropping the beam so it could be beaten it with a sledge, and it beat the sledge :/
