Reindexing torsion bar

[MiSh]

Followed the how to but cant get the stupid thing out

Taken off the adjuster bolt (the one you use to crank it) but now i cant pust it forward or back.

Have tried using a malet as well. is there somthing i might have missed.

 

There is a nut at the frount of the torsion bar that connect it to some "arm thingy" that then connects to the bottom of the hub.

Do i need to loosen this

[Precise1]

I had to loosen the 3 bolts on the front socket for the T-bars. I think the front spline was binding somewhat. Once the front was loose, they slipped out easy ! Don't forget to put some good clocking marks on them before you take them out.

whats a clocking mark. (sorry to sound like an idiot but i am one lol)

[Precise1]

Bah...

 

Clocking mark or indexing mark...

Clean off a visible spot where the splines go into their socket. Use a punch or chisel (or whatever) to make a mark in the same place radially on both the T-bar and socket. That way you have a reference on the 'clocking' so you can see how much you have indexed it and can always return it to the 'stock' location if ever so needed.

Yeah, like he said. Mark the t-bar and anchor so you can tell where it used to be.
