try a bit harder :wacko: which end is stuck?

 

you'll struggle to get a decent ride height without removing both ends.

If that end of the torsion bar is stuck in the trailing arm, you'll be limited to adjusting the ride height in approx 35mm increments.... the so-called "splines" method of lowering :wacko:

Buy a replacement and drill out the old one, I had to do this on both of mine. Getting the bolt out is only half the battle though...the washers can be a right PITA too.
