I just removed my passenger side door because I had to remove the front hinge hinge and add 2 more shims so it wouldnt hit the T-panel. I got the door off and back in, in 30 mins but I have to leave for work now so I cant put the Torsion-bar in. I adjusted both doors last month with a 1/2 in torque wrench with a craftsman 1/2(made for impact wrench-black metal) to 3/8 connector to the allen socket. It worked but the torque wrench was bowing a little. It goes up to 140 foot pounds. how much torque does it require to adjust the t-bar? I would hate to have it break on me. I am also going to move the other T-bar back 2 notches. I hate how fast my doors open, I like them to almost sag a little. any info would be appreciated. I am adjusting them tomorrow at 1:00 Thanks Dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
