One of the trunk's torsion bar, the ones that keeps the lid open, is not working. It's just sitting there making no pressure at all. I can even remove it with my bare hands while the other is impossible to move. Is there a way to twist it, using any home tool, to put it right? To make it hold the lid up in place? Instructions on how to do it (maybe an online tutorial -pictures / video) will be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your responses so far.
The former propietor told me that the torsion bar broke and he bought a replacement that never installed correctly. The brackets are fine. It's just not as easy to twist it with a home tool. This darn thing has too much potencial energy stored ;-) And to make things worse the brackets are in such a tight place that is almost impossible to get the twisted bar in place with the tool in the middle (if I ever get to that part). I wonder what kind of tool could get this done. Thanks again for your time.
