[DML] Re: WARNING ! Removing door and quarter panel

[CBL302@xxxx]

That is the way I have removed many a Delorean door with out any problems,I repeat you DO NOT have to remove the torsion bars,AS long as you have the door fully open and supported,by 2x4 and assistants.Also I just checked out one of my Delorean restoration projects and the torsion bars are still in place,WITH the doors removed,as I said Just DO NOT bump into the torsion bars with any tools,or with the door,also if you want to remove the torsion bar,do it with the door OPEN and fully supported,remember that the pressure is lessened when the door is open.When removing the torsion bars be careful that you have at least two assistants to help you,one to hold the door in the fully open position and one to hold the torque on the torsion bar as you remove the two bolts that hold the torsion bar bracket and he relieves some of the torque on the torsion bar,then reinstall the bracket and bolts and then repeat the above process,untill all pressure is removed from the torsion bar.Caution!
if not done correct there is a possibility of shattering the rear window and damage to the T panel.
