ahc replacement

[al/c]

my landcruiser has been sat outside the house for a couple of weeks, been using my other toyota 4x4 it,s a gt4. anyhow noticed a leak and it,s from the ahc, driver,s side rear. a pipe has split and it looks like nearly all the fluid has escaped. not going to try and repair this, so please recommend the best replacement. ...iron man , pedders, vehicle spends most of the time on the road, do tow now and then, anything up to 2.5 tons. thanks Alex..

couldn,t wait for a reply so ordered a pedders kit today, tried paul at west coast 4x4 but would have to wait 6 weeks for iron man. the fun will start tomorrow. .

decided to start with the rear end as it seemed more difficult, anyhow managed that with my trusty grinder. so on to the front then, this should be a lot easier as you can get to everything, ......how wrong can you be. managed to change the shocks ok but the torsion bar adjusters will not move even using a breaker bar and extension, have been soaking in penetrating fluid for a few days so any ideas please.

ok. heat and a breaker bar extension done that, but the rear torsion bar mounts are proving more difficult. will need more gas i feel as they are solid, or break out the plasma cutter and melt some metal.
