Spent the last two days trying to lower my torsion bar but to no avail! managed to get as far as removing the screws and washers but the bars wont budge. so my question is, is there anyone fairly local to me that would do it for me at a price? ive got all the parts i just havent got the tools/capability to get them out.
I live near market drayton, shropshire
thanks

Bash the arms off and try the NOTCH method , just watch your bearings

£90 isent bad 2bh, most places charge around £100 any ways. if your just bashing it with a sledge hammer you could f*** the trailing arm bearings up so either get it done by someone who knows what they are doing or you'll need a new axle.

Personally I would replace the bearings anyway which is what I did. So you can do it ether way and it doesn't matter.
