Does anyone know how to get the rear trunk "spring" back in place. I had to change the mounting point of the hinge and I'm unable to reinstall the torsion bar back in place (in the little white plastic wheel).
thank you Louis |

An easy and clean solution is to do the gas shock kit. I bought one from Camp914 and really like it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) When I replaced my broken plastic rollers with aluminum rollers I had a bitch of a time getting the torsion bar re-connected so I made a special tool out of steel tubing. It worked - but in the process I still hurt my thumb. I wouldn't do it again - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Go with the gas shocks & save your body for better things.
