How do you extend the torsion bar?

You can't extend the bar beacuse it is only one. Size.mthe way this company makes money is that they have only two sizes, and u can't extend the bar. The caster board is easier to use than the ripster

I am not aware of extending the torsion bar. My son uses it at the standard size and he is about 4 feet tall. I have also used it without issue and I am nearly 6 feet tall.

the torsion bar is part of the door. it is a coiled spring above the door header. the unit comes with the hardware to install opener, very easy to install and works well.

The manual states that you must have a minimum of 8 inches between the garge side wall and the end of the torsion bar. I currently have 5 inches between the side wall and the side of my Lift Master.I hope this helps answers your question.

There is a quick-release on the handlebar stem. It can be raised but not lowered from the original factory assembly

The directions say to extend the rod about an inch longer than the opening required. Lock it before you try to put it in place. If you still have the directions they are pretty easy to follow. Hope this helps.

The top is threaded for the ball. So I asume you could screw something on it and extend it easily.

The threads are very coarse so loosening the chains requires two to three turns of the nuts, using a 1 1/4" socket or crescent wrench. Then you can remove the pin the front where the triangular plate is located and drop both chains down. I found it to be much easier than dealing with the old torsion bar system. However, you do need to carefully set the mount brackets on the trailer frame during initial installation to ensure just the right length.

There is nothing available that I know of. The easiest and fastest way would be to take one of the bits to a welder and have them add a steel plate with supports to the shank.

Do a google search of "Liftmaster 8500 manual" and look at page 3 for all the pre-installation requirements. I found this link: http://www.liftmaster.com/CatalogResourcesV3/en-us/shared/files/tucmanuals/114A4565.pdfOn that page it gives this answer: The torsion bar must extend at least 1-5 inches (2.5-12 cm) past the bearing plate. This may vary depending on your installation requirements.

Try removing one of the bars inserted into the side rails to make it shorter. That worked for us.

I don't know. I did not have that happen but turn the rod counterclockwise that might help to extend it. I did think it was weird the way you had to do it. I finally gave up and my husband finished with it.

The spring comes without any bars. The torsion bar (that which you use to wind and unwind) has to be brought separately. You will need two. Don't substitute the bar with a screwdriver! It can have fatal results.

I did not mount my lift master yet, but if this helps,the torsion rod goes into one side or the other of the jack shaft opener. I believe you need 8" to place the unit next the shaft and then slide onto shaft however much to make proper connection.

I don't recall a t bar reference. My bed is raised 6" in the front and in order to support the (raised) bed frame I attached the Bed Claw supports to the metal bed frame by drilling holes at strategic support points and attaching the Bed Claw with screws. Seems to be supporting the bed fine.

There is a little screw to hold the bar tight, remove the screw, cut the bar to the size you want(includes the hole) with hacksaw.Then put back the bar as you take out in reverse order.

you have to force them, bring the two metal bars around so that it looks like the picture, then you stretch them so that the male part inserts into the first hole in the other bar. It can take some strength at first but then it stretches pretty easily and you have to use the farther holes
