I spent 3 hours this weekend trying to get the torsion springs for the rear trunk back onto the hinges. They are all the way in the "neutral" position since I had to release tension and replace a hinge pivot some time back. How the heck do you get them back on?
Since I am pretty much giving up anyway, what is the preferred trunk shock kit to use these days and where can I get it? |
