Torsion Bar Bearing

Torsion Bar Bearing

Removing


• Follow the safety precautions for pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components ] Description and Operation.

• Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, disconnecting the connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.


Move the front seat as far up as possible. This reduces the spring force when removing and installing the torsion bar and the risk of damaging the threaded connections between the upper and lower seat frames.


The torsion bar exhibits considerable spring force. Always follow the points below to avoid accidents:

• Always remove and install the torsion bar in the sequence described and only using the tools specified.

• Never use pliers and other levers.

• Do not stand directly in front of the torsion bar when removing and installing it. Stand off to the side.

- Remove the torsion bar. Refer to => [ Torsion Bar ] Torsion Bar.

- Remove the bearing - 1 - out of the guide - 2 -.





• The illustration does not show the front seat belt latch anchorage point.

Installation


The torsion bar exhibits considerable spring force. Always follow the points below to avoid accidents:

• Always remove and install the torsion bar in the sequence described and only using the tools specified.

• Never use pliers and other levers.

• Do not stand directly in front of the torsion bar when removing and installing it. Stand off to the side.

Installation is reverse of removal, but note the following:


• Follow the safety precautions for pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components ] Description and Operation.

• Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, connecting electrical connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.

• Ensure that electrical connections are pushed in as far as stop and engage with a click.


Connect the battery with the ignition switched on. Pyrotechnic components could deploy after connecting the battery if they were not repaired correctly. Individuals must not be inside the vehicle when connecting the battery.

- Disconnect the battery ground wire with the ignition switched on.

• If Airbag Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (K75) indicates a fault after installation, DTC memory must be checked, deleted and checked again.
