tried lowering the westcoast torsion bar

[ReadieeVTS]

hi guys i just went to lower the westcoast rear suspension, i have caked it all in wd40 and even heated it up and the torsion bar for the passenger side will not budge for shit.... i was hitting it hard with the hammer, bit of a silly question but is there anything else that you can suggest? Cheers Lee

just keep going at it mate really, eventually it will come, just takes alot of time and force!

i use an old torsion bar and put that in place and twat that till it pushes it through

[Matts-VTR]

Are citroen ones different to renault in the sense that you cant wind a bolt over a 30mm socket into the torsion bar then wind the torsion bar out?

Would of been facking funny of not :A:

I used an old torsion bar and a sledge hammer ;)

[Lewis1600]

I used a Copr like chizel sort of thing.. (soft metal basicly) and a Really BIG Hammer :P

It took us ages to do it btw!

But once it was out.. its gets a bit better :P

i tried that and ended up ripping the thread out of the torsion bar so not recommended!

If you searched, you'd see that a big hammer and a metal bar will shift a torsion bar out.

Brute force, and alot of time mate.

i had to extend the slide hammer using bolts and just kept smashin it once u break the seal of rust it comes out easy, i managed to do mine even tho a garage sed it was completely seized and they sed they heated it up. liars...
