The plastic roller for the spring rod of the rear trunk lid hinge looks like it’s about to come off of the shaft. What techniques do folks use for releasing the tension of the spring? Is it then just a matter of pushing the roller further onto the shaft and putting the spring back in place?
Thanks, Mike |

Go to the other end of that torsion bar and tap it across the car to move the wheel
further onto the shaft. You may have to work it on from one side then the other. Also, with the hood off the hinge moves outward. |
