Torsion Bar Lowering...Help Required! Photos!

[1995clio16v]

Spent all night on this. Removing the bar was the easiest thing going which I anticipated to be the hardest!

Despite a phone call to Northy, im still struggling!

See 1st pic, black dot against dot on bar.

IT WILL NOT GO BACK IN AT THIS ANGLE?

I dont believe that the bar will go back in at any angle? Am I wrong?

It will only go in by hand and a tap of the hammer on the 2nd pics at blue marked points, there are x2 of them? You can spend all night belting this bar with a hammer and it will not go in at any other angle?

Can someone explain to me what I need to do to lower this car!?

Have i got an odd beam!?

Highly frustrated!

when you have torsionbars out, lower the axel to the position you want it, the hammer the torsion bars were they fit, it can be any angel, but they only fit in one position, it is different splines in and out so thats why.

Thanks for your help guys and Northy! Managed it in the end, i was getting to wrapped up in the 'lower it by one spline'.
