Nissan Repair: 86 Nissan P.U. 4x4 torsion bar removal, nissan xterra, torsion bar

Question
How do I remove the torsion bar on my 86 Nissan 4x4 Pick Up? I have removed the adjusting bolt and removed the two smaller bolts attaching the torque arm to the lower link but can not seem to get a wrench on the large bolt. Access to the nut is not an issue, just the bolt head.


Answer
Michael,

The torsion bar is under extreme tension, it is what holds the truck up.  You will have to unload it by lowering the control arm.  Check out the 4X4 link:  If you need more email me back.
