	I want to remove my torsion bar on my 00' RMK because its clanking around.I am mostly a boondocker so I dont think it will be a problem removing it. The question I have is there a way to get these out without having to cut the torsion bar? The one I have is one solid piece and has bends right where the bar goes into the belly pan.Also is there rubber grommets they make to plug the holes once it is removed?

	cut it, or remove the motor. I think on my zx you can do it without either but its hard. you have to reach a wrench below the motor. 2000 Summit 700 Highmark 159" The Thing Can Mountain Fit hood Gravity Worx Racing - RSI Riser kit SPI Pistons Mount Machines Freedom Offset Axel 8" Fabcraft Trailing Arms and Radious Rods Camo Challenger 159" NEED MORE POWER!

	Take off the trailing arms. Drill out the rivets holding the mounts in. You have to move the bar around alot, but it will come out. 02 500 XCSP 136" Tracks USA 02 800 XCSP 136" Tracks USA ___SLP pipe, SLP airbox mods, ___Digatron EGT Custom 670 DOO Mountain sled ___740 Big Bore, Swain Tech, ___Crankshop pipes, A/C suspension ___159 x 2 track, Fabcraft tunnel 99 500 XCSP 98 600 XCSP Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	i pulled out mine on my 00 rmk 800 simply by drilling the rivets out on both plastic bushings on each side then just undo one trailing arm so you can pop out the end of the sway bar, then it just takes abit of manipulation and persausion to get it to come out. shouldn't take more than 10-15 mins to get it out. I do what the voices in my head tell me!! 97 RMK 700 06 Vector se mtn Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
