Its always a pain to get the washers out, patience is the key.

I think you can buy the offset washers separately. Its essential they go back in as its only them & the bolts/arb that hold the torsion bars & arms on. They need to be the correct washers as they locate into the slot to hold the lot together, really crude way compared to the renault beams!

They are a right pain to do those torsion bars especially getting the bolts or washers out, i've told myself never to do another Peugeot or Citreon torsion bar again as i hate doing them.

i am not looking forward to it at all looks like a nightmare! any tips/advice to releasing the washers ?

Flat ended screwdriver in the hole, wiggle it until it comes out, requires patience!

Ive lowered loads of these, 2hr ish job if all bolts/torsion bars come out ok, budget longer if everything is seized.
