Disc Conversion Help

[Rakishi64]

Hey everyone, I'm doing my first drum to disc conversion. Before I remove the final bolt in the photo of the backing plate (bottom left), do I need to loosen the torsion bar adjuster first? I apologise for the rookie question.

No you are fine.

No you are fine.

Ok I appreciate it. I had read that someone had not took the tension off the torsion bar with the adjuster and the car moved a bit due to the tension. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

There will be tension on it. Slacking off the adjuster is the best way to deal with it.

However looking at your picture I would put jack stands under the control arms and lower it.

If he puts jack stands under the lower control arms and lowers the jack he will not have to touch the torsion bars.

I ended up moving the jack stands. Came off easy and safely. Thanks for the guidance.
