stuborn Torsion bar bolts

Ticks and tips to get them bolts on the front end to turn, I need to get the front end up as high as possible to clear the headers on a 72 scamp. I am aware of the implications and alignment issues, but I need the hight right now, and them bolts wont move so I sequster the help of the experts.

Also Hi to any of you that I havnt chatted with in a few yrs, been a while, sucked for a while but im back in a car.

thanks

Sounds like they are frozen pretty well. A good soak with penetrating oil, wait a while and gentle heat may help. You can try backing them out first. If you get them moving, back out all the way. Clean the threads with a wire brush and re-assemble with grease.

yea soaked with PB just looking for that miracle short cut

you are going to have to turn it into a 4x4 to get ground clearance , that's the problem with cheap headers , they go under the steering linkage. get a propane torch and heat it up the adjuster nut bar.
