REAR COMPARTMENT TORQUE
ROD ADJUSTMENT
The amount of effort required to open and close
the rear compartment lid is determined by the
position of the torque rods in the adjusting plate
hinge box notches. If the torque rod is located in
the lowest notch, the amount of effort required to
open the lid is the greatest and the amount of effort
required to close the lid is the least. If the torque
rod is located in the top notch, the amount of effort
to open the lid is the least and the amount of effort
to close the lid is the greatest (Fig. 8-1).
NOTE:
It is not necessary to adjust the left and
right hand torque rods at the same time or to the
same final position (notch).
On "B & C" and 69347 " E " Styles adjust rod with
a length of 1/2" I.D. pipe. On "A & X" Styles use
tool J-21412 as shown in Figure 8-5. If tool is not
