Torsion bar Bushes
Torsion bar bushes A challenging job to do. Homemade pullers are essential to remove the old bushes and press in the new ones. It's a splined shaft with a notch, so essential to line up the notch on the torsion bar spline and the swing arm. The notch lines up with the hole for the split pin and is at 90 degrees to the adjusting arm at the other end. Its necessary to remove the upper suspension arm and helpful to remove the lower bump stop. You need to remove the rear bracket holding the suspension bar. However there is a rivet in the way. So you also need to loosen the front part of the bracket to give the rear enough play. I made a puller with 12mm threaded bar vaious 1/2 inch drive sockets and a strong mm washer. The thick metal disk on the end is useful to start the bushes moving.
