How to replace the torsion bar on Chevrolet Astro?

Question

Accepted Answer

Start by elevating your vehicle before continuing. The Torsion Bar unloading/loading tool (J 36202) can then be installed on the Torsion Bar adjuster arm to gradually increase arm tension while using the same tool. Record the adjustment bolt's removal number of turns before removing it together with its retaining nut. Remove the j 36202 from the adjuster arm to proceed with the installation. Move the Torsion Bar forward to disconnect the adjustment arm and then reposition the bar backward half through the crossmember. Mark the front of the bar with l for left and r for right and lower the front end of the Torsion Bar into place. Lower the front Torsion Bar end before moving it toward the middle. To begin installation you must first install the Torsion Bar followed by lubricating its adjuster arm and bolt with axle grease before adding the Torsion Bar adjuster arm. Place the adjustment bolt along with the retaining nut then use the j 36202 tool to tighten the Torsion Bar. Fit the j 36202 onto the adjuster arm before putting the adjustment bolt to the notated position. Use j 36202 to reduce Torsion Bar tension until the adjustment bolt takes the load and remove j 36202. Lower the vehicle while checking the z height.
