they sound as if there in there for good! try it again with another bolt. you can have mine if you want?

;)

sorry, my twisted sense of humour. read it!

lol

Paul 16v - Halesowen, only had a clio for 4 months and so far had 3 gearboxes. i kid you not! Colin_s - follow MaLicEs recommendations first. if not, then remove other torsion bar and anti roll bars and push it out from under the car. thanks for everyones kind comments:)

i was thinking about that one to!

reno have dropped the prices on these items apparently, give them a bell in the morning. otherwise, reno specialist breakers in the back of autotrader.

didnt encounter any problems. no springs! the turning force being applied to the torsion bar when the arms lift gives the suspension its spring. one other thing, the 16v/willy naturally from the factory ride lower than all the other model clios. try one spline first and see how it looks.

im confused! whats going where, and having what done to it, and why?

way to choose a colour!

they get lots of use!!!!! http://www.btinternet.com/~weightspalace/MVC-005F.jpg ;) wouldnt even consider getting under a car unless it was on axle stands.

40mm sounds more reasonable! i will try for ya tommorow. ;)

nope

yeah you will need to turn the bracket(rear arms) 2 splines, thou you will have very little suspension travel. and that will make it very harsh! r19 16v wheels 15" 195/50 only took those pics really. there isnt a gap between wheel and arch in terms of height anywayz.

yes, brake hub 1 spline = 30mm sachs springs £36+vat -35mm no, but i will shortly, oe jobs probably. glad to help weight.

All done, thanks to p carr for his advise on this one. gonna put up some piccies to show how i did it. first up, jack up rear end and place on axle stands remove dust caps to torsion bars rig up homemade torsion extractor tool as shown...

the other one is the anti roll bar.

and its only the one under the cap?? as i noticed theres 2 bars running from one side to the other. and they all slot into a bracket thing in the middle, right??

you beat me to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks buddy:)

only if the above is correct, so im right in saying your using a normal socket as leverage against the nut connected to the bolt to force it out? yeah? so the above sketch applies?? althou it sounds like your putting the bolt throu the other end of the socket. but i think i know what you mean.

just one, could you clarify this statement? and put the nut through the socket then screw into the torsion bar as you scrw the nut to the socket the bolt will pull out the torsion bar. are you with me so far? other than than it seems tip top. just took the covers off and sprayed them with...

what he said, and private message nick read.

having never seen them, no. but please continue. i will make a note of it all for when i have a go! It will also be good referance for anyone else tackling it in the future! think of it as community sevice;)
