They go in through the trailing arm - the arm the wheel is attached to.
When knocking the torsion bars out you need to make sure you aren't just pushing the arms off the tube. So the arm needs holding in place maybe with some timber between it and a wall.
When mine came out on mine they came out the other way to how you got the arrows on this pic :S strange isnt it

I suppose the bars can go either way if you are just lowering the back end. My method is enough to remove the torsion bar completely. I'm sure one end is fatter than the other so will only go one way.

#22: Re: off set washers "torsion bar" Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:44 pm ---- Just use an old wood working chisel. It will cut into the screw and shift it easily - well it did for me.

#29: Re: off set washers "torsion bar" Author: Chris180, Location: northumberlandPosted: Sat Apr 07, 2012 2:22 pm ---- ok i'm in the middle of doing this aswell and i have the bolts and washers out
can some one clearthis up...hitting the top bar from the drivers side and forcing it towards the passenger side is the correct way to be going...and then the lower bar hit from the passenger side forcing it towards the driver side???
#30: Re: off set washers "torsion bar" Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:58 am ---- That's what the picture says yes. In reality you can knock them either way when just lowering the rear.
