How do I get this bolt off of my 86 na? I assume I need it off to replace my torsion bar. I already have the nuts off, but the bolt hits the arm from the torsion tube assembly (not sure...but is the arm called the banana arm?).

 

u don't need it off to replace your tbar. at this point, u can undo the 4 bolts on the torsion bar cap, and the 1 bolt that's up and to rear, and the big front bolt.

the banana arm is the piece of flat metal that goes from the tbar area to the top of the axle area. it's painted black....whereas the spring plate cap is aluminum. u can see the banana arm in this picture...it's just the backdrop for the spring plate cover

ez way. undo the trailing arm center bolt. it's on the tbar carrier towards the middle of the car.

 

The Clarks Garage description is a little confusing. Thanks for input/help.

 

I have reattached the spring plate bolts, but it does not drop the spring plate or the trailing arm....should the shocks be removed? The spring plate is still in there tight.

 

Yes.

 

oh yea.forgot about the shock. yea undo that. sorry

 

Perhaps I am missing something, but the Clarks-Garage site does not say anything about shocks. It makes sense that they would be removed.
