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 |

I cringe every time one of these trunk torsion bar threads pops up. I keep waiting for someone to lose a finger...or worse. I'm a damned lucky example (it was close).
I second that it looks way out of place and the inner fender pivot point may be torn. Look underneath and ensure both of these are solidly mounted to the sides; it's very common for them to be torn: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-18802-1555778547_thumb.jpg) |
