I am trying to uncrank a huge torsion crank from my truck that the previous owner put on. I was able to get the passenger side undone (some) but the driver side I can't get enough torque on the bolt and can't get anything bigger or a rachet on it. I read the write up but it doesn't actually say how to do it. thanks. AL

 

Have you tried using a "cheater?"

 

Be careful dude, Those bolts can snap and completely unload the suspension. It is recommended that you uncrank it with the car lifted off the ground. That way there is no pressure exerted on the sytem. That will make it easier.

You might also want to try some penetrant on the bolts

 

X2...get that wheel off the ground, full droop.

 

X3. And let the penetrant sit for several minutes.

 

x4, why not?

 

x5 and after you let the penetrant sit several minutes, hit it again with some more

 

x6 to go with the new 'fad' and to wish good luck

 

would it be wrong it I went x7, since I already did x4??

Seriously, I had a similar thing happen when I was trying to pull the stock T-bars off my 92, snapped the bolt...pretty cheap from toyota, might want to order one first incase you break it if its your DD..

 

It is sitting on jack stands and I have hit it with lubricant for a few days in a row. I can't fit a cheater bar in there to get more leverage.

 

The part you want to turn is on the bottom, there shouldnt be a clerance issue at all....

 

What is this? Math Class?
