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 have a phobia of strut-supported lids. Years ago I had an 87 cavalier station wagon. The rear hatch on it was supported by a strut on each side from the factory, and somehow, not sure if it was beforehand or what, but one of them cracked where the end went around a sort of ball pivot, and the strut came off. With only 1 strut holding it, it seemed like the hatch all but free fell and cracked me in the head, knocked me to the ground, I had to go to the hospital and get stitches. It was funny that it was halloween, and I was dressed as a girl. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) at least some of the impact was cushioned by the wig... the nurses got a laugh though, me and my makeup, big ass bleeding bump on my head, I'll never forget that.
