NOTE
This task applies to the replacement of either left or right
side torsion bars and torsion bar anchors.
If torsion bar is broken so that one end remains in torsion
anchor plug, proceed as follows: If an electric welder is
available, attach a long insulated rod with forward tip bare
to welding clip. Fuse rod to broken end of torsion bar re-
maining in vehicle and pull out broken torsion bar. If this
procedure fails, it will be necessary to gain access to tor-
sion bar from its anchor or from within the hull. Be sure
to remove all broken pieces of torsion bar.
