Can anyone tell me how to lower the rear axel of my westcoast?? is it a hard job??

bricks in the boot is easiest, if not try this http://www.badgermotorsport.co.uk/lowering.htm

goodluck its not hard just a pig sometimes to get the bars out

Yeh to get the torsion bars out you might need to get some heat on them or infact a very large hammer + socket + bang hard + alot of effort + maybe some crying = torsion bars out.
