Re: Torsion Level Problem

I have to admit I'm having a hard time visualizing the unloading of the torsion system and the car is in the shop far away so I can't go take a look at it. Once the system is unloaded it seems pretty straight forward.

My shop has used a chain to hold the load arm to replace the pins to adjust the ride height but then there's still a load on the system. The shop manual shows a special tool that looks like it holds the control arm and then allows you to slowly ratchet down the load. How do you release the load without the special tool?
