Take a 1/2" pipe and slide it onto the end of the torsion bar and push it forward. Slide the wrench down beyond the bend in the same angle as you have it in the photo and push!! When you have it in place, twist the wrench and remove it.
You just need to get it down lower! Jeff |

Use the pipe to get the wrench past the bend in the bar then you will have the leverage!!

Andy why didn't you let me know I can supply you with a stronger shox. This is the first I knew that they were not holding the trunk lid up. Send me your address and I will get a set out as soon as I can.

Hi Jeff. I have not been able to work on the car for the past couple nights. I might get to it this weekend. Thanks for the offer to help, but I was at work late yesterday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) ing this thread since it applies to what I am trying to do.
The pic above is also how far I get. I still can't visualize getting the rod on the other side of the trunk pin....what roller? Never had them. What's it all supposed to look like? |
