j-16 1 Posted March 18, 2006 Hi, Can anyone give me some advice? The stud with the screwdriver head in the end of one of my torsion bars has seized. The locking nut is off and the stud has been soacked with wd40 but won't budge. Will heating it help at all? Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted March 19, 2006 Remove the trailing arm with the torsion bar still attached if you can & work on it off the car. A pair of vice grips should get it moving then. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
