Hey Brad -
My 57-8 Plymouth shop manual show how to fabricate a tool for
removing/installing the torsion bars. Don't use a come-along, or you bend them
to the point of being unusable. If you can't locate a 57-8 Ply shop manual, let
me know and I'll scan the info for you.
BTW, I've always found that the Dodge shop manuals were the
poorest written of the late 50s Mopars. Plymouth's is so much better and
Chrysler is very good as well. Can't speak for Desoto.

Subject: [FWDLK] trunk lid torsion bar
springs
Hi All,
Still looking for a
solution,tool,method to adjust the torsion bars springs for my '57 Dodge
trunk lid. I have thought about hooking up a come-a-long to help move the
bar into the most rearward slot or perhaps a homemade tool. Doesn't
appear to be an easy task. But surely its been sucessfully completed by
some member of this group. I really don't want to use a prop to hold up
the trunk lid !!!!!!
Any help appreciated.
