I have tried the search function to no avail. Does anyone have the suggested steps for re-installing the two springs (stressed metal rods) that keep the trunk up when open ?? If I missed a thread on this, please point me in the right direction. Thanks

The last time I did it, the procedure involved a huge box wrench hooked over the torsion rod end with a huge open-end wrench hooked into the other side of the box wrench (for added leverage), a 10mm socket wrench for the bracket nuts, two guys and a lot of cursing. It worked, but I'm sure there is a more refined method.
