OK, has anyone found an easy way around putting the tensioners back on the rear trunk rollers? That is without just putting the aftermarket trunk shocks on and of course not having the right tools! How about someone who has the tool??

Any words of encouragement would be helpfull!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Do you have a long adjustable wrench ??

I cut a notch just big enough to pass the torsion bar thru and "hook it".

The length of the wrench will give you the leverage you need and it wont hurt the "round" end of the wrench. You can still hang it on the wall.

I cut mine with a cutoff wheel.

No problem.

I'm full of useless information. You just have to catch me online.
