RE: [DML] Need help adjusting torsion bar (North Carolina)



It would be nice if jrc2905 would sign his name and give his phone number at
the end of his post on adjusting torsion bars.

If you follow the procedure he listed below, the risk is very high for
damage and personal injury. Contact one of the service providers for
advice. Some of the clubs sponsor door adjustment parties periodically.

This link will help you to determine if your torsion bar actually needs to
be adjusted.

Be careful.
