torsion bar removal.

[slade420]

So after fighting with my torsion bars and getting frustrated i decided to read my Haynes Manual. I think it can help with re-indexing. It says for 4wd models, to take out the adjuster bolt and retainer clip, THEN remove the nuts on the torque arm, allowing you to pull the bar out forwards. just thought id mention it.

Yes, I had to loosen the nuts on the torque arm in order to remove them.

 

I believe this is mentioned in the How To thread, but thanks for bringing it up.

Ive read the thread over a few times, and i dont believe its in there. Take a look. if im wrong ill eat my hat!

My appologies, you are absolutely correct. We are talking about the front splined socket, correct? I could not remove my bars from them until I had loosened it up, the splines were binding. I never considered pulling the bars out the front, it seemed like there was mor room in the center of the truck.

 

Did you want to add this to the How To thread??
