Hey, my last 206 was lowered as i paid a friend to do the torsion bar for me, and me and my friends are confident to tackle it on my new one, except i have a rounded torx bolt on my torsion bar which has halted lowering my car, what is the best and easiest way of getting it out without too much hassle
cheers

Rounded torx? Hit it with a flat chisel tool+hammer from the side. Should unwind it, worked every time for me. One last option is to weld a nut on the torx bolt but try the other method first.

I've used a work working chisel before. Cuts into the metal nicely and knocks it out nicely.

Cheers I'll try that, it got to the point where it's just a circle.. If that fails I'll just have to weld a nut onto it
