i see why you put the smiley,the ROM is rubbish,that spring is so strong plus you need 3 pairs of hands,sounds simple twist spring 1/4 turn and push in to location hole,

now that the boot hinge is back together, i thought you may be interested in what i found IMG_0261a.jpg you can see the clips/holders for the torsion spring had bent,i used Edds idea about building up the weld on the back of the clips to stop them bending again, IMG_0263a.jpg IMG_0264a.jpg that was a case of hitting the rivet with a hammer to tighten it up
