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? |

Jeff, I made the tool. I still can't figure out how to use it. Here's where I am now. What do I do next?
I don't have enough leverage to just push the bar without the wrench slipping down. Attached image(s) |
