OK...I have read the various posts about making special tools etc. to replace the rear trunk lid rollers, convert to gas struts, and whatnot.
My dumb question of the day is -- if I just want to permanently REMOVE the torsion springs, rollers, hinges, etc. i.e. to go to a pinned-on f/g lid, can I simply remove the nuts on the torsion spring brackets carefully and remove all the junk? Or will I be decapitated or rendered sterile by trying that? I know they are under a lot of tension, so is there some particular sequence to remove the brackets or rollers? Thanks... |

They are going to "twangggg" when you remove the bolts, you don't want to have your hands in there with a wrench at the same time.
I have always removed the bars the stupid-ass way... Sawzall gets you out of harms way when you hold it with one hand... Hey, I didn't say this was the recommended way... it's just fast and easy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |
