This is the front suspension from my 72 that I am putting in Howard. This one is straight, I do not have another. The adjuster cap on one side fell off as soon as I removed the adjuster bolt. The other side is holding it position like it's from Texas.
And the arm I could get off the torsion bar is stuck fast. I need to get the bars out without harming the splines or heating it up so much it takes the spring out of the bars. I'm sure this is semi common so I'd sure appreciate hearing how you managed to get yours loose. So would Howard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks    |

When you say back side, that would be this adjuster cap. But I understand what you mean. I was hoping that I would not need to pull that cap out. I fear that will destroy it.
