Hi,
Has anyone ever have a torsion bar that would not just come out? One side came out by hand the other side just will not come out. Also it is not centered in there and when I turned it upside down a ton of rust came out. I don't know if I should even use it if I do get it out. Anyone in San Diego have a set of control arms with the sway bar tabs? lol Attached image(s)

If it will not pull out, drive it out the front. There is only a cap on the other end. They are replaceable. They are only a couple bucks from Porsche. Other choices include PB blaster and or heat.

I tried PB blaster and heat and that is the control arm hanging from a chain and a vise clamped to the end of the torsion bar.java script:emoticon(':D', 'smid_4') I don't have a press. |

squirt some liquid wrench in the back end and let it sit over night. Drill a .250 Hole in the front cap and use a punch and a big hammer. good luck |

Drilled a hole in the front end last night and filled it liquid wrench type stuff to sit over night. Tried removing it today with a puch and a 5lb hammer. It didn't move a 0.001" th of inch. &^$#$%@&
How is that end cap in there? |
