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

Excellent idea I just need to release mine just to change the ball joints and stuff
Thanks for making this video, it helped massively when doing my torsion bars today

No problem 👍
Dankeschön für das Video hat mir sehr geholfen 👍👏
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..

Let us know if it worked for you 😊
👍 Thanks man
Thanks dude. 👍
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!
