Rear Suspension Removal
The dis-assembly of the 411 is nearing completion.
All of the wiring is off the car now. The rear axle was
removed in January. The last mechanical bits remaining
are the rear suspension items. I've started on the right side, and have removed the torque arm and the bolted strap on the back end of the torsion bar. The torsion bar is free, but cannot be slid out from the rear bearing housing because it is blocked by the forward bulkhead of the trunk(boot).
I am guessing that removing the bearing housing is the next
step followed by the the surrounding bearing housing carrier. Alternatively, I could just remove the entire carrier along with the bearing housing and torsion bar.
My 408-410 Spares Handbook was copied incorrectly and doesn't have all of the pages(missing pg.121-132) showing the rear suspension. I do have page 120 which shows the rear suspension unit. It appears to be different in some minor details with the 411 S2 unit.
Will removing the suspension unit bolts and moving the suspension unit allow the torsion bar to slide back out from the chassis cross beam tunnel, the suspension unit itself,
passing below the boot floor?
All advice welcome.
Thanks,
Greg Woog
