Just wondering if anyone has a schematic for a 96 Bronco tailgate. Something went boom when it was down and now it weighs a ton to close, so I figure a spring let go, and I want to see what I'm getting into before I pull off the inside panel.

You are a lucky one. usually, everyone that posts in here about the torsion bar breaking, also have to replace the glass. It usually goes when the window is down and shatters it. Check out www.broncograveyard.com You may find a replacement.

 

Thank you to everyone. I Got exactly what I was looking for.
