Torsion bar too?

[Savi]

Had a quick look at my torsion bar today and just wanted to know what i could use to remove it? Gave it a load of WD40 today too.

Cheers guys.

does it just screw in the whole?

And where can i buy one from? hope there not too expensive

I made my own at college, works a treat everytime

and the thread inside which the sliding hammer screws into, M10

As for where to buy one from, no idea sorry mate

Edit: Try and Wd40 it as much as possible now to clean/loosen it up for when you do lower it

I beleve you can rent tools like sliding hammers from a tool rental company

Cheers guys

make sure its heavy!

Take the weight off it. WD40 it so its dripping like a virgin.
Then use either a slide hammer. Or a long M10 bolt with a socket + a nut to tighten the socket onto the outer caseing.

I think i'll keep spraying WD40 on it everday until i get a sliding hammer

Cheers for the help guys!!!!!

Just for searching preference:

I've lowered the rear of my car using a nut and bolt method. Found here:

Did look around for a slam/sliding hammer but couldnt find anywhere who stocked them so i could feel the weight.
