Just getting ready to replace the rollers on the rear trunk hinges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It looks like removing the trunk lid might make the job a bit easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any thing that I should know about before I start?

I wrap rope (2-3 turns) around the torsion bars in two places about in the middle. Then I use a grinder to cut the between the two ropes. No problem, no hits or broken fingers. |
