antar Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Does anybody know how the torsion bars are removed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk3iain Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Is it broken? If so you will need a lenth of rod long enouth the reach the full width with a threaded end to screw into the anchor end of the bar and feed it out after the main part of the bar is removed, or it will be lost in position and be a pain to remove! I am sure this procedure is in the manual but its been a few years and I would have to look it up to get details correct. I'll scan the relevant manual pages in the am if its any use?

andym Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Depending which one it is, there are also access plates in the hull floor which may help. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look out that manual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just beware (if you don't already know) that they're handed left and right ... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 They should be marked with an arrow which points to the front of the vehicle when the bar is inserted with the arrow at the top, but just in case .... :-) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
