Since no one responded to my Rear Caliper Adjuster Screw Stuck Thread I figured I'd put in the new 22mm T bars.
Only problem is I cant get the darn things out.. Took the adjuster and other thing off.. Then The front thing off as according to the haynes... Then it said to pull or push it out... Wont freekin move (wiggles.. but thats it..) Is the front part (in relation to the car) like a dust cap thats suposed to come off? cus its not... How to's?? Thanks... Im running out of things to do waiting for dad to get home... garage is clean... lol... Andrew |

the adjusters are out correct? so there is no load at all..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
you can pull the cap on the front of the a arm..and you can it them out with some sort of dowel. |

Dowel... hammer? I always hated when people used the word dowel.. I never quite understood it..
Yes the tensioner (whatever its called) is out. No tension... but I cant pull neither the T bar, nor the cap... hit the t bar with a hammer trying to persuade the cap off, no go (have other t bars, I'll trash these if there bad.) I see brads active... Wonder if he's got any thoughts?? Andrew |

there is a tech article on PP i think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
you have to drill the cap...then pull it IIRC. hitting the Tbar into the cap wasnt smart,....made your job harder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

I looked for a PP article before I started.. Nada...
Then I looked in our tech articles... Nada... hanes manual was vauge.. my other 3 manuals were vuage as well... Drill into the cap.. Then pull? I dont see how that would do anything.. lol I'd rather hear from someone, or read something that says actually what to do... Not a IIRC... before I start drilling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Thanks though! |

haynes 911 manual: drill a small pilot hole in the endcap of the housing. remove with a slide hammer. remove torsion bar. replace cap with new one or fill the hole.

QUOTE haynes 911 manual: drill a small pilot hole in the endcap of the housing. remove with a slide hammer. remove torsion bar. replace cap with new one or fill the hole. easier method, smack torsion bar with a BFH, it'll remove the cap and the torsion bar will slide out the front of the a-arm you can drill the cover, and insert a punch and try to push the torsion bar out towards the rear of the car...fill up the hole by welding it or with rtv got a dremel? cut a slot in the screw that is giving you trouble on your calipers, use a large standard screwdriver to remove the screw |

I punched mine out with a hammer. It popped the cap off and came right out the front. It took a couple of hits but it worked.
