Easy job mate few spanners 17mm or 19mm, tape measure, some WD40 or GT85 etc

Think he means this to show the adjuster? - http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/downloads/workshop/wk46.pdf

Morning All
had a look under the bus this morning and now see what I'm suppose to be looking for.... there are two, one for each side is that correct? Do I need to do the whole torsion bar set up or just alter the bolts? is there a set gap between the tyre and arch? and what are the adjustment of the nuts clockwise higher /lower.... Sorry if I sound stupid but I'd rather know some basics before starting it to find myself knee deep in parts....

I've got to look at mine, so I've not done it yet. Take a look here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3J17A5F3h4

That's the one.:thumb2
It's easier if you jack the whole front end up, if you have a trolley jack.

Don't do too much at once, do a bit and let it down off the jack and let it settle, (take it for a drive round the block)
if you are not happy do it a bit more.

so had a go at raising the front, have about 3 3/4" of bolt showing above the cross member either side... is this about right?

 

[jims-terrano]

That looks better, rear sligtly higher than the front.

Aye, she's sitting nice now

Still a bit nervous about raising mine. Is it just a case of undoing the lock nuts and winding the bolt up or down? After raising the wheel off the ground. Same length of bolt showing both sides?

 

[marti666]

pretty much thats it, I used a trolley jack to lift the front and put axel stands under lowered onto the stands and then slackened off the lock nuts and tightened the torrsion bolts measuring how much bolt had come up then did it the same the other took it for a short ride to help settle and then did it again until I was happy with the height.... I haven't re indexed the torrsion bars....
