So, i reading through the rebuild steps in the manual today...
says there should have been clip on torsion bar, mine slid right out when I released and pulled the adjuster. Should they just slid out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Mine did, no clips that I saw. Well, one did. The other was all plugged up with dirt and crud, it needed to be coaxed a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

One did, one didn't. Had to drill a hole in the front of the torsion tube (I think some of the A-Arms have a removable cap), and use a punch and hammer to get it out. I think I got the information from Wanye's 101 projects book. Used sealant to close the hole and keep future dirt/water out.
