How do you replace VW Bug torsion bar system?

Your best bet would be to purchase a Haynes manual. Remember... safety first!

Jist: disconnect brake lines,remove hub cap , loosen lug nuts, remove cotter pin and 36 mm, jack up car and secure on jack stands, remove wheel, remove drum brake, remove emergency brake cable, remove the clip holding brakeline and disconnect brakeline from the trailing arm.

remove lower shock mount, notch the trailing arm and spring bar to ease realignment, remove driveshaft.

remove 17 mm Allen nut on trailing arm and the three bolts holding trailing arm to torsion arm... remove trailing arm.

Put a jack under the torsion arm and jack it up until the arm lifts slightly off of the stops. Remove the four bolts and the torsion plate, remove the outter bushing.

IMPORTANT: (do at your own risk) do not get any part of your body underneath the torsion bar while in this position... you could get hurt.

With a prybar, pry the torsion arm past the stops and slowly lower your jack. Once the torsion arm is under no stress, use an angle finder to find the angle (will help with reassembly). Remove the torsion arm and inner bushing. Remove the torsion bar.

Assemble... in reverse probably... haven't done it yet. Hope this helps.

Why wont the wheel move after replacing brakes?

The reason will more than likely be because when you changed the pads you had to compress the caliper piston in order to put new pads on. you did'NT compress it far enough. did you have a hard time putting thr caliper and pads back over the rotor. If so this is your problem. When you say that the tire doesn't spin, do you mean it feels like someone has their foot on the brake or that it doesn't spin as freely as it did befor you changed the brakes. write back and let me know.

Rotated tires now steering wheel shakes?

Usually when the steering wheel shakes badly while driving it could mean a few things. If it shakes only when you are applying the brakes, this means you have warped rotors and they will need to be turned or replaced. If it shakes just while driving, it could be that you have 1 or more tires that are unbalanced. Check this first before proceeding. It can also indicate that a wheel alignment and perhaps steering linkage repairs are necessary.

Rear wheel drive have upper and lower ball joints and one or both may need replacing.
