Thanx to 1966SD I was able to get a couple torque rods for the 67.
Anyone have any secrets about installing a trunk lid torque rod on a '67 Beaumont?
Our 67 busted one last week. Have never changed one and never seen it done.
Any help appreciated.
happy motoring

there is a special tool required....i think you should take it to a restoration shop and let them do it....there is alot
of tension involved.....the procedure is shown in my 64 beaumont repair manual (i think they are the same)

Can be done with GOOD vice grips and pry bars but it's not simple. Prepare to sweat a little.

It seems to me I had a piece of pipe the right size and shape when I did it on my GTO clone convert years ago, and as I recall it was not horrible, just not simple and a little bit nerve wracking!

I removed a set of rods with Vicegrips on a '64 Parisienne.
