QUOTE(Morph914 @ Jan 26 2022, 01:28 PM)  I’m trying to level out the front end and lower just a bit, but I’m having a bit of a problem pulling the end caps off the torsion bars. I pulled the adjusting bolt all the way out, jacked up the car to relieve any pressure, still not budging. I then took the wheel off and tried lifting the a arm up to see if that would work, again, no luck. The cap seems to be wedged in at the top position Is your sway bar keeping the A-arm from drooping enough to take the tension off the adjuster...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Enjoyed reading your build this morning. I am putting a barn find BB back on the road, and while mine doesn't need much, I pick up bits and pieces of good advice by reading these posts. I'll be sure to get the lift device from tangerine when I put the engine back in, as well as take off the fuel rails. Thanks.

I’m happy to help, I have learned a great deal from others here so just tying to give back however I can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Cheers, John |
