Slant Six Forum :: torsion bar removal

GAve it another shot yesterday after work (been real busy). Still won't come out. Dug around the groove in the T-Bar socket to see if there was a portion of the retaining clip in there. Doesn't look like it. (Shop light and looked as best I could).

It looks like maybe someone hit a curb really hard with the front passenger tire/wheel as the K Member has some deformation where the strut rod bolts in. But it's not THAT bad. Also the hex of the T-bar seems a bit to one side of the socket in the subframe, but again it doesn't look bad. I don't see any deformation in the subframe.

Could the LCA and assembly be changing the angle the T-bar goes into the socket that much?

I'll try it again tonight I guess.

Like I said before it's an AZ car (very clean underneath and the other one popped right out.

Oh well.

I only plan on chaning my Tbars once and I'll be spending the money for the tool so I can ensure I don't have any problems doing the job.

Good news you got it out! Things like that can be very frustrating. I was certain if you hit that nut just right, it would pop right out. Now on to the next challenge. Sam
