The original lock cam was a"knurled" round knob. After years of use the ridges would get filed down and then not catch. Starting about 10 years ago, Dometic redesigned the Cam lock system and now use a gear tooth lock system. You just need to get a new RH Torsion assbly. Doug

can I take the riveted end cap off without locking the torsion spring. If I am not mistaken the new ones have a cotter pin that goes through the holes in the end cap to lock the spring until installed.
There is NO tension on the new Torsion. You have to wind it after install. The OLD torsion, you have to release the tension BEFORE you drill out the rivets. Doug
