T4 torsion bar adjuster seized!

Спорт

Hi KZreadrs , I thought I'd make this short video to show an easy way to unseize those torsion bar adjuster nuts on a vw T4.
These have a habit of rusting solid and are sometimes very difficult to move.
I figured out a way of getting maximum leverage on them without cutting them off.
Hope this helps someone

    Im to do this job in the next couple of days, just waiting for the weather to not be wet etc.. The bolt on the O/S on my T4 is absolutely solid and isn't wanting to move. I was wondering how to heat the nut without setting fire to the fuel tank. It has been suggested to me to use a flame proof mat that plumbers use when they're sweating pipes close to a wall.. This is a mus better idea coz I was thinking of cutting off the bolt and renewing it... Informative video, thankyou..

    Great Video, thank you very much. How did you determine if your suspension was adjusted right, just by screwing it to some extent and testing on the road ? Was it too weak before you adjusted it? I have the problem on my T4 that it is way to weak in the front and I suspect that the Torsionbar is not adjusted right... Thank you if you have the time to answer ;):

    Hi, thanks for the comment! I measure the gap from the top of the rear tyres to the arch. Then adjust each torsion bar so that the gap is the same. It's a trial and error process as you have to jack up each time to adjust the nuts, then let it settle to re measure again. Hope this helps!
