rear torsion bar removal

[mark_airey]

Those collars do screw in, so probably they do screw out, but mine wouldn't budge.

Other option would be to smash them through and replace the collars and studs.

I put it all back together and tbh you can get pretty fine adjustment just on those splines, pikey or not the shafts had come out anyway.

Hopefully the bearings won't fail now, heard so many horror stories.

I know they screw in..........the point of them is to take up the slack at the end of the bar, they are a threaded stud with like a thick washer in the middle, you aren't screwing them out unless you can get a 15mm fixed washer though an 8mm hole

If you have only got one side of the bars out IIRC the adjustment is 20-30mm a spline, if you get both ends out then the adjustment is, pretty much, infinite
