Do you even read my posts? Laughing

You can knock it out that way

But you can take the torsion bar out of the axle if you do (as in hold it in your hand off the car)

I had to resort to using a hydraulic ram between a bolt in the torsion bar and a steel stanchion holding the workshop up!

Not exactly suitable for the diy-er tho!

You are beating it from the right side aren't you?

I've got to start using this site more! Seeing as I seem to do nothing but sell, break and fix 206's!

Read yes, fully understand the concept not 100% Wink

Just tried both sides again and it's not budging tbh I probably just suck :/

Was mainly hitting it from passengers to drivers side, the top one was so easy I don't understand how this one isn't

Mine was the same

Bottom was the hard one

Bearings arent hard to replace tbh, and if you 100 percent cant get it out, just move the arm Smile

How would you go around replacing them and how much are they? Also would the arb have to be removed for your method? I'm thinking not but if it is my mechanical logic has failed Laughing

Yes it would if you wanted the arm to come off Laughing

£70 odd for both sides, and wee wee easy

Put the other torsion bar back, with the washers and bolts and try the seized bar again. This will help stopping the arm from coming off.

Well now I have broke my 4lbs hammer Sad

I would do that steve but I had to chisel them out so currently waiting for some on order from pug.

Don't know what the next call is, maybe get a garage a have a go at it I know I would probably do more damage than good removing the arm I normally do.
