Is it possible to remove the torsion bars?, With the suspension on the car Options

[turnaround89]

This may be a really dumb question, but the front end of my car really need to be lowered and the adjusters are rusted stuck. Ive tried everything, penetrating oil for days on end, locking pliers, bolt out on a ratchet. the allen is rounded out as well which makes matters worse. I saw a picture of the torsion bar and adjuster out of an a arm, is it possible to pull the torsion bar and adjuster or should i just pull the whole a arm off to work on the adjuster part?

If i pull the a arm, i take it that means i need a front end alignment done, right?

Heres the picture i saw, that made me wonder if the adjuster and torsion bar can come out with the a arm still attached to the car

jmmotorsports = i hope you don't mind me using your picture for some help

The manuals for the 911 that uses the same wedge pin and ball joint arrangement always refer to that as "Wedge Pin (always replace)". I say take an air chisel to the thing and replace it when you re-install.

You can drill a hole in the front torsion bar retainer and use a big punch and hammer the s**t out of it to drive the torsion bar toward the rear of the car.
