torx 40 on an extension for the drivers side and smack it in with a hammer, get the torsion bar out and that lets the passenger side arm drop making access to the inner bolt on the passenger side much easier

Once the bar is removed and arm has been moved to the right height does it matter where to bars go back in on is it a case of where ever they fit

I know I'm digging up an old thread but is it true that the anti roll bar can come flying out and cause lethal damage maybe death? I've heard some crazy stories just want to clear them up before I go near it!

Only if it's not bolted in properly. Even then it only tends to have an end plate rub on a tyre.

As most/all garages do not lower them anymore due to torsion bar at rear, unless lucky like my circumstance last year, it's best if you can to do it yourself. Guides come in useful, why forums were invented lol...
