torx t40 bolt

[coulson]

whats the best way to get the t40 bolt out near the break line

[Mark51]

what are you trying to do mate?

[coulson]

trying to lower my vts but cant take the torsion bar out till ive took the t40 bolt out,so what would be the best way

[mallboy]

use the just the torx bit and then use a spanner to get it out as there is little room to remove. this worked for me

[hesslevtr]

spray the bolt with wd40 clean the inside of the bolt out

put the torx bit in it on an extension bar hit it with a hamer to shock it and used a ratchet on it

[stevenet15]

its normally the passenger side inner one thats hard to get as u cant get a ratchet on it as the radius arm is in the way. use a chissell and tap it and once tapped u will be able to turn it by hand, trust me its the easyest way that what i have do on about 14 different cars i have lowered and i replaced the bolts with 13mm ended insead of the torx bits as they jsut corrode however u can re-use the torx bits

[alangti]

shame u dont lower cars anymore as i realy wanted u to do mine steve as its sitting like a 4x4 at the moment

[coulson]

what about the plate covering the torsion bar on the drivers side it just dont want to move it does a little bit

[dingle]

as stevenet15 said i had the same problem with the pass side chisel worked a treat as for plate not moving have u taken the bolt out of the plate from the other side if not take it out then it should move no problem

I ended up rounding one of those torsion bar bolts, ended up dremmel'ing a line across the head of it and using a flat head to crank it off + used plenty of WD40 !
