Notice:
Failure to maintain the balancing torque during
this operation may result in the anchor bracket
striking and breaking the rear window.
6. Remove the torsion bar from the front hinge
through the rear roof section.
Installation
1.
Support the door in the fully open position,
with the gas strut connected. Apply specified
grease to the front end (square
RH,
hexagonal
LH) of the torsion bar and insert through rear
roof section and into front hinge socket,
aligning reference marks if applicable.
2.
Position restraint bracket temporarily on
splines of torsion bar with the fixing holes
aligned.
3. Using the pre-load
tool,
turn the torsion bar
evenly and progressively (counterclockwise on
RH door, clockwise on LH door) moving the
restraint bracket one spline at a time to keep
the fixing holes aligned. When bracket has
been moved three splines (or a similar amount
to align the reference marks) hold the torsion
bar in that position until the restraint bracket
securing bolts are fitted and tightened.
4.
Release torque and remove
tool.
Notice:
Release of pre-load torque until restraint
bracket is fitted to torsion bar, but not secured
to roof, may result in rear window breakage.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
Note:
Hinge height is adjusted by shims mounted
horizontally between hinge and roof, while lateral
adjustment is by shims mounted vertically between
hinge and roof channel. Only one hinge should be
adjusted at a time.
1.
Determine which hinge requires adjustment
and in which direction.
2.
Raise and support door with a proper brake
while re-aligning.
3. To shim rear hinge height, support door in the
fully open position. Loosen two bolts and one
nut securing hinge to roof channel sufficiently
to insert or remove shims as required. Tighten
bolts,
lower door and check alignment.
4.
If lateral adjustment of either hinge is required,
the stainless steel roof section must first be
removed.
5. Before shimming front hinge, the torsion bar
must be removed as described above.
6. Loosen two bolts and one nut, securing hinge
to roof section sufficiently to remove or install
shims as required.
7. Tighten bolts and nut securing hinge to roof
section.
8. Re-install door torsion bar as described above.
9. Close door and check alignment.
10.
Install roof section if applicable.
11.
Adjust door latches if necessary.
