Torsion bar

[rs250nut]

I've looked through a few previous threads about adjusting the torsion bar but did not find a great deal, Im pretty handy with the spaners but have never even looked at adjusting a torsion bar is it a easy job, what tools will i need?

M10 threaded bar, preferably high-tensile. I usually use a headbolt.

A nut to fit, a 30+mm socket, plenty of washer.

Put the socket over the bar, a 30mm sits nicely on it to give loads of space, put the nut on the bar/bolt, along with a few washers, then wind it into the bar, then use the nut to wind the bar out.

Is it worth marking it?

but the headbolt winding thing sounds like a good idea...

I assume you meant where it was located previously? Theres no point tbh. If you are handy with a set of spanners then it's a piss easy job as long as its not seized.

If its seized can i free it up with heat?
