914Rubber 914 Rear Trunk Spring Pressure Relieving Tool

For 20 years, PMB Performance has been the trusted name for Porsche 914 owners, partnering with 914Rubber to stock more of their SKUs than any retailer worldwide. Our hands-on expertise ensures you get tools that make tough jobs easier. The 914Rubber Rear Trunk Spring Pressure Relieving Tool is designed to safely manage the high-tension rear trunk springs on your Porsche 914 (1970-76), saving your fingers and your paint from the perils of makeshift methods.

This tool is built for precision and durability. Crafted from heat-treated steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc coating, it features a notched, T-shaped head that securely engages the rear trunk spring’s hook (Part No. 91451231710). The 12-inch lever arm provides enough torque to compress or release the spring’s 150-200 lbs of force without slipping, protecting the trunk latch mechanism and surrounding sheet metal. Unlike generic pry bars that risk bending the spring or gouging the body, this tool’s tailored design ensures controlled movement, critical for the tight confines of the 914’s rear trunk assembly. It’s compatible with all 914 models (1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 914/6).

To use, insert the notched head over the spring’s hook and gently pivot to relieve tension, keeping the spring aligned with the latch pivot point. Work slowly to avoid overstressing the spring or damaging the trunk’s hinge area. Inspect the spring for cracks or deformation before reinstalling, and lubricate the latch pivot with a light PTFE-based spray to ensure smooth operation. This tool makes spring replacement or adjustment a one-person job, no wrestling required.

This tool, backed by 914Rubber’s quality and our unmatched inventory, simplifies a tricky task, letting you focus on enjoying your 914.
