I pulled the torsion springs from a 914 once...once. Dang near killed myself. Is there a safe method for removing them after installing a the Camp 914 kit?


I wrap rope (2-3 turns) around the torsion bars in two places about in the middle. Then I use a grinder to cut the between the two ropes. No problem, no hits or broken fingers.

Good idea SLITS, I'll use that method. I just ordered the Camp kit. I agree Ian, Craig is a good fella. I ordered one of his euro turn signal kits awhile back.

Sorry to hijack your thread Green914! I hope you get your new rollers on with no bruised or battered paws!

if you don't have any rope just roll and stuff a couple of towels in-between 2 spots of the rods and rear firewall with some space in the middle. power up the grinder, cut both rods, and you're done with that portion in about 30 seconds. figure out the open height of the lid first. i would pre-fit the struts then cut. with the camp kit you need to make small notches in the outside edges of the rear trunk wall for the strut rods to sit/lower into.
