I'm in the middle of a lower control arm job and I'm having a huge issue with the torsion bars.
I have a 1996 4x4 4l OHV. She's old and rusty.
I had an enormous b*%ch trying to get the control arms off. The bolts were completely siezed, I cut them both and popped out the ball joint... I have compressed air, and it took me about 6 hours!!!!
Now I've got everything down, I have a torsion bar that looks like it's really stuck in the control arm. Infact, the hex pattern on the bar looks like it's about 5% off. Meaning it's jammed in the control arm and I can't get it out.
I was debating buying a new torsion bar, and a new adjuster... but I'd save a bunch of money if I could just get this damn thing out of the control arm.
Does anyone have any suggestions??? Help!
