914Rubber Rear Trunk Torsion Bar Roller for Porsche 914 (1970-76)
Keep your Porsche 914’s rear trunk operating smoothly with the 914Rubber Rear Trunk Torsion Bar Roller, designed for all 1970-76 models. PMB Performance, with 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, is the leading 914Rubber retailer, stocking more of their SKUs than anyone else. Our nearly two-decade partnership with 914Rubber ensures you get precision-engineered parts backed by real-world technical know-how.
This OEM reproduction roller (Part #914.512.263.11) replaces worn or split rollers on the rear trunk hinge torsion bar, preventing damage to the bar itself. Made from durable Delrin plastic, it matches the factory white finish and withstands the constant tension of the torsion spring, unlike originals that crack over time. Each roller slides onto the torsion bar, reducing friction and ensuring smooth trunk lid operation. PMB Performance has installed these on countless 914s, with customers saying, “The trunk pops open effortlessly now!” Two rollers are required per car, one per side.
Why this part? A failed roller can cause the torsion spring to rub directly on the bar, wearing grooves that complicate replacement and weaken the mechanism. This reproduction prevents such damage, extending the life of your trunk hinges. If the bar is already grooved, you may need to file it smooth or remove the armature for repair, as noted in 914Rubber’s Tribal Knowledge Wiki. The battery-side roller requires moving the battery for access, but full removal isn’t necessary.
Installation is manageable with vice grips, a screwdriver, and a prop to hold the trunk lid. Open the trunk, clamp the torsion spring with vice grips, and pull it down to create clearance. Slide off the old roller and install the new one, ensuring it seats properly. Torque any hinge bolts to 10 Nm if disturbed. For detailed steps, consult 914Rubber’s Tribal Knowledge Wiki. Two rollers are needed per car, compatible with all 914 models, including 914-6.
With PMB Performance’s 20 years of Porsche restoration experience and 914Rubber’s meticulous engineering, this roller delivers reliability and authenticity. Whether you’re maintaining a daily driver or a show car, trust us to keep your 914’s trunk functioning flawlessly. Questions? Call (855) 786-7101 or email Support@pmbperformance.com.
