Hood torsion bar

[Bobo]

I removed my torsion bar some time ago to repaint the hood. Now I come to refit the hood I am having trouble refitting the torsion bar. I understand that i am going to have problems actually fitting the hood, but my problem is actually fitting the rod into the hood. Am I doing it wrong? Any step by step instructions out there?

Use the search function and you can find a lot of material about this, here is one thread (and it contains some further references)

I also tried using "hood tension" as the search string (search all the messages) and there are several more threads to read.

Good luck.
