Hi,
I would to change my spring plate to adjustable ones.
No problem to remove torsions bars from the bus but the main problem at the moment is that I can't separate spring plate from torsion bar ... Very rusty. Someone have an idea, except the hammer one (I already have try it) to separate them ?
Thanks
k.

Use a shop press.

Hi,
Thanks for the solution.
I'll try to find one near home.
Is it a safe solution for the spring plate ?
Thanks

They're probably a little rusted together. It won't take much effort to get them apart using a press
