So after months of back order waiting I finally have brand new springs, hinges and a hood. I have some experience with this, but have never had to remove or install hood hinge springs before. I've asked around if there is a special tool for this job but have surprisingly not heard any ideas better than pulling with a set of vice grips... yeah I don't think so... I'd like to make sure I don't hurt myself or my Elky here.
I assume that it is much easier to put the springs on with the hinges mounted on the fenders... but that worries me about tweaking the fenders with the amount of force this is going to require.
I can picture a tool that would work, a long steel bar with a hook on one end and a pulling handle on the other. Does anybody make a tool like this?
How is this done?
Thanks
