Torsion bar loweing.... Best way to remove off set washer?? - Chris_90 - 08-08-2012

As above really how can i remove the off set washer i had the same problem on my 106 the off set washer was stuck in and now its the same with my 306 i tried all sorts with my old 106 heat, wd40, hammer, a bigger hammer, shouting and swareing but it still didnt move...... just had a go with the 306 and its the same rusted in how can i get it out?????

Wire brush drill bit to clean it out

DW40 lots of it

dig the crap out wiv a small flat head so it has some where to go.

A blower on the air line to blow the crap out. (as much pressure as you can get in the compresor helps)

Some hard blows with a center punch/chisel.


Should do the trick
