Not only that, but after removing these pieces, you will find them so caked with crap that you will need to spend 2 hrs. min cleaning them with a brush to get all the gunk off. This is vital to ensure the rubber moulding goes in easily when you're reinstalling. I coated all threads with antisieze and painted the rocker panel end caps as well ianc |
Denty,
You are sagging in the rear slightly. ;) Just like me. Quote:

redcoupe86,
please come back with steps of how you do it. If I can get it, I will do it too. Thanks. |
I used a impact gun and held the eccentric & locking bolts with a modified Park Tool. I used a pair of vice grips to hold the Park Tool to the Spring Plate so I didn't have to hold it. Then hit the nuts with the impact gun and they came right off. I removed the four bolts that hold in the torsion bar and removed that cap. Then I pulled out the torsion bar and re-indexed them until I achieved the angle I was trying to get. I didn't have to remove the little panel or the rocker to re-index mine. All the work I did was inside the wheel well.
If you are REPLACING your TB with bigger ones or whatever then the access panel and rocker parts will have to be removed as stated above. When I reinstalled everything I tightened everything down tight but not to 175ft/lbs. The alignment shop has to loosen and tighten these back down to set your alignment anyways. Make them TIGHT and you'll be fine to drive to the alignment shop. Good Luck! |
My own .002 cents
Wow, that's a lot of rake! Quote:

I'm lazy. I don't think the shock bolts have to come off.
After the spring plate hangs free with no rotation interference from torsion bar cover bolts, etc., place a reference mark between the spring plate and control arm so you have a reference point from which to adjust or return to. Use a floor jack under the control arm to realign everything when reassembling. Sherwood |
