Hello, while trying to put the torsion bar back in my passenger side door(which has been out for awhile) I had the pull bar break after about 1/4 turn of the bar. I used a high quality 3/8 drive, I guess I should have use a 1/2 inch. or is there something else I should try? I dont want to have something break again. good thing my window was allready broken do to an accident. what I did is put on the strut and pulled the torsion bar until the door would rest at the top, then I had some one hold the wrench while I shut the door to see if it would come back up and then my wrench broke. Thanks for the tips Micheal. I dont really under stand your idea with the 4x4, could you clarify a little bit more?. I would be interested in trying it. I am VERY sorry to hear about your car. what happens to it now? my entire passenger side of my car has to be replaced(long story) and I only have a door at this time. just need 2 fenders. did those get smashed? My dream is getting more expensive than expected:( Thanks in advance David, #2496
