I need to get my parts tension rod off but it is rusted and seized. Does anybody have one I can borrow or if you want to come and do it for me. I wanna get this fix ASAP. All help is wanted. And if you happen to have one teardrop you want to get rid of I’ll take that too. ---

Canadian Tire sells these for like $40 and IMO well worth the investment. ![http://partners.drivewerks.com/catalog/images/tools2003/FIR-03870471.jpg](http://partners.drivewerks.com/catalog/images/tools2003/FIR-03870471.jpg) ---

take it to a shop and get them to use the cutting torch to loosen it then do the rest at your house. I did that once they didnt charge me. ---
