It’s always a bad idea to use an impact on those torsion bolts.
I’m sorry, but a torsion bar is under pressure, even when lifted off the
ground…so yes, a special tool is needed…you can do it your way, and
I’ll do it mine…and I’d be willing to bet mine is safe 99.99% of the
time…gotta factor in some sort of failure as nothing is 100%, ever. Your
way…well, you risk your face, eyes, or hands all you want.
You do need the torsion tool for full size chevys but in this video they
are working on a Colorado so no tool needed. I just did one and when the
vehicle is lifted off the ground there is almost no pressure left in the
bars
G ghost r th gf
bahaha here in canada u could spend hours with a sledge hammer or a air
hammer tryin to get them fuckers out
lol, not even an impact socket! Insert foot in mouth
@brayd4586 to level out the rear mostly you will use blocks under the leaf
spring or you can also buy add-a-leaf kits to lift your rear end. and no
after you install these torsion keys it does not affect ride quality unless
you tweak the bolts past what they were set to with the stock keys
when putting the torsion keys on, dont you need to level out the rear? if
so, what would you use? I can’t find any rear leveling kits on line for
chevy. also how stiff is the susspention after putting the keys on?
fast forward to 1:00 if you’re not a complete moron =x
Copy that. Detroit here. Same problem
I AM TRYING TO REMOVE MY TORSION BARS HAVE THE REAR CROSS MEMBER LOSE AND
FREE THE KEYS ARE STUCK CANT GET THE FRONT TO COME OUT ANY SUGESTIONS
a 2 jaw gear puller works real well to unload the 88 – 98 GM torsion bars
what are you supposed to use then?
is it possible to lift my chevy suburban 3′ to fit 26′ rims for clear
space?
@clipdan You can turn them off
you dont have to have a special tool to unload the bars if you know what
your doing…common sense and a little mechanical knowledge and its a piece
of cake
Who cares. Its only going to damage his impact.
a lift is a waste on that truck
@atv360k The funny thing is that after saying that he didn’t even use the
right socket, your never supposed to use a chrome socket on an impact
wrench, they make impact grade sockets for a reason.
I was wondering why the video didn’t seem to deliver the promise of the
title. Then I realized. F^&KING Expert village.
@SALEEN961 You do realize they make chromed impact sockets right? I have a
set.
Boom Bam !!!!
for the entire kit about $1700 or $1800
whats with all the writing evry where u cant see the work being done pretty
retarded no ?
I’m doing this project now and my bars are not coming out that easy. I’m
fighting just to push them out. Maybe because they been on there for so
long. I’m removing my transmission with the transfer case on it. I figure
it would be alot easier to pull them down together then to seperate them
and make a mess and have to reseal where the transmission mates with the
transfer case. I’m doing the rear main seal.
whoever designed the torsion bar system needs a good kick in the head. been
about 4 hours and i still cant remove my keys from the bar.
holy hell thought he was dying. aha that was ballsy impact on torsion bars?
way to go
