I'm switching out my torsion bars. The left one slid right out after I took the bolt and adjusting lever off. The right one on the other hand won't budge. I've pulled on it at the rear by hand and with vice grips. I've removed the front valence and guard clip, but can't find a way to get the cover off to drive it out from the front. Any advice?

Thanks for the help. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole, squirted in some penetrating oil, waited a few minutes, and then drove the torsion bar out from the front. Worked like a charm. Not sure how I'm going to plug the hole yet. |
