I'm sure this has probably been covered but I searched and couldn't find anything.
Anyone got any tips on the R&R of the rear trunk lid, hinges, and torsion bars? Going to replace the rollers while I'm at it. I think I've seen some bronze ones over the years ....anyone got a source? Thanks. |

Wear a thick set of welding gloves when you take the tension out of the torsion bars. They still hold tension through about 180 degrees of rotation before they finally start to go slack. Can really eF up your hands if it slips.
