#47: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:53 am ---- You don't need to remove it you just need each arm to be independent but when you hit the bar out it will push one of the covers off anyway. Just make sure you undo the 13mm nut on one side otherwise it will be difficult to get the arm back on.
Can try and explain it better if you like addaz explained it to me for ages I didn't really get it until I did it.
#48: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:02 pm ---- might be a good time to change the trailing arm bearing as well
#49: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: -RAJ-, Location: COVPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:40 pm ---- did it the way harry said and it has seemed to work, looks abit low so will re-adjust tomorrow and give it a drive
#50: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:54 pm ---- Sounds good, get a pic up? Mines in the present wip thread in my sig it's very low as well but I like it.
#51: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: -RAJ-, Location: COVPosted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:54 am ---- just finished re-adjusting it and actually managed to get the lower torsion bar out this time.
for anyone in the same situation, as harry said push the whole of the trailing arm over on the drivers side so that the torision bar on the passenger side just comes free. Then what i did was go under the car and give the torsion bar a few yanks this should free it up a little on the drivers side, then go give it a few hits from driver to passeger, this is how mine came free.
heres how she looks now, not too low but just about a 30mm drop all round. big thanks to Ape for his guide and harry

#55: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 4:31 am ---- Don't thank me I know nothing I just did what addaz told me to
Yeah it's done keiron I couldn't get the bar out but just moved the arm instead cheers anyway. I dunno if it's too low at the back though so may re adjust it sometime..
On a side note, when the car is on the floor it's only around 10mm off the bump stops so should I trim them down to allow more travel? and if so what with
#56: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 4:34 am ---- i would cut the down or remove then as it will just rebound of them but the you may bottom out if you are using normal shocks
#57: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 4:38 am ---- Nah using spax ones they are completely rock solid, won't it be bad to remove them incase it hits the actual axel?
#58: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 4:58 am ---- If the trailing arms are 10mm away from the bump stops it's too low!
#59: Re: Torsion bar.. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 7:35 am ----

The gap on the arm that hit the bump stop is yes.
And I'm well aware it's too low for handling purposes, but I think it looks good
