I got this from someones web site. I need to lower my car soon at the back and was wondering if anyone could help me with this tool, has anyone made one of these I could get or can people explain this a bit more. Do you just slide the hammer along the bar and hit the two bolts to pull the bar out?
For this job you need to use a slide hammer.
1. Jack the car up with 2 trolly jacks, so both rear wheels are off the ground.
2. Take the plastic cap off the end of the torsion bar.
3. Spray them with WD40.
4. Screw the bolt into the threaded hole in the torsion bar, and pull out the torsion bar with the slide hammer.
(pull both torsion bars out this way)
5. Jack the car right up so that both wheels are clear of the ground again.
6. Now lower the car on the jacks until its sitting at the height you want it.
7. Knock the bars back in with a hammer (they should go in relatively easily). If they dont rotate the bar until it does, this can take a bit of time finding the right way round.
8. Put the cap back on the torsion bar.
