Torsion bar mount repalcement 91 4.3L 4x4 Need advice...Thanks guys!!

I'm also going to take a stab at replacing my Torsion bar mounts. Is this something I can accomplish without a hoist or special equip?? Any advice appreciated.

Replaced mine on my '91 and it is not too hard. A Haynes manual will help. You don't need the special tool to unload the torsion bars, a larger c-clamp will work. Remember to count the number of turns on the adjustment bolt when you remove it.

Ive replaced these more times than I can remember and Ive never had to touch the load nut / hight adjuster bolt. I just unbolt and pry up and pop them out..

There ya go!

Hey, thanks Blazer! That doesn't look too bad...

Nope, very easy.

Good luck and come back after it is fixed to let us know how it went.
