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 |

-1 on the rear struts, I won't put those on any 914.
Fix the hinge cup and keep the shoulder bolt lubricated, or do the shoulder bolt mod. It's worked for 40+ years, and needs repair. Yes, there's a dangerous amount of tension on those springs, but if you get a good tool it's not that troublesome. |
