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 |

Thanks for the replies. I’m still looking for a good and safe way to relieve the tension on the spring so I can assess the situation and make any necessary repairs. I did a forum search but didn’t see a valid post. I heard at one point there was a tool available. Anyone know of one and a source?
Thanks, Mike |

It was invaluable to put my springs off and on. |
