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 |

To each their own - I found Craig's strut kit to be super easy to install and doesn't create any access issues whatsoever for me. I do get that not everyone wants to drill their trunk.
Dealing with those torsion bars was not pleasant, even with the proper tool. I tried reinstalling them after fixing my hinge plate - but my opinion was that they put WAY too much force on the repaired hinge and that it was just a matter of time before it ripped loose again. Perhaps others have had better experiences. JMHO. |
