Trunk Lid Torsion Bar (spring)

[Werner W]

Has anyone purchased new trunk lid torsion bar springs? Where did you get them and how much did they cost?

The only web site I've seen them on is Miller Benz.

I'm tired of holding up the lid and getting whacked in the back of the head.

I'm making up my Christmas wish list.

Thanks

Get two and include me on your Christmas list. Mine hold the lid just enough to trick you into sticking your head in there.

Thank GOD the hood stays up otherwise I need a helmet.

The actual tool required is the Mounting Lever (item no.2 in pic) part number 107589003700.
But I have replaced the torsion bars just using a 2ft crow bar with the fork bent (on a vice) slightly backwards. It does the job just as well.

Thanks for the images. They will be very helpful.
