installing trunk lid torsion bar 1983sl also where can i buy tool

Hello all im Arthur from the UK

I purchased a 1983 380sl from the states many years ago and have had stored, But now needs several jobs one being




a trunk lid torsion bar, which we have kinda stripped out ready to take out and install a new one, I have heard its a pig of a job todo!! So my question is has anyone done the job and managed to come out unscathed, Also has anyone found a youtube video showing how to install, Also has anyone ever used or purchased the tool to do the job in question, Any help with this would be much appreciated
Many Thanks Arthur
