Re: ''55 400 torsion level compensator gearbox

You do not need any special tools to remove the compensator, but you will find that without it the back of the car will sit very high. Under most moderate loading conditions the compensator pulls the back down rather than pushing it up.

Avoid the temptation to put the car in use without automatic leveling, and in particular without an operating limit switch. That is how yours got broken along with MANY others I have seen over the years. It is very easy under manual operation to get confused and run the device over center and end up bending the connecting bars around the gear box. Too clever by half is a very apt expression.
