Different ways of lowering a torsion bar..?
#17
Only reason the pikey way can result in a failing beam is because it disturbs your bearings / seals...but if they do fail shortly afterm than they were f*cked anyway so might as well have been replaced...

The pikey way doesn't have to lower in set amounts, that's just if your uber lazy and only let one side come out.... The whole point of the arm smashing method is if you dont have a slide hammer / puller.... All you do is leave one side fixed, smash it till it releases, then put it back in, fix the other side, and smash again, then it will be free both ends, and torsion bar can be removed fully as per doing it the correct way.... best bet is to just do it the "pikey" way and change the bearings / seals while your at it, job done.
