These older Crawford and Mc Kee torsion spring cones were made for 5/8 “bars. Often, nevertheless, the holes are too little for 5/8” bars. Whatever you do, do not utilize a 1/2 “bar; rather, grind down a 5/8″ bar to fit. I just recently had a Mc Kee spring let loose after winding since I utilized a 1/2″ bar when my 5/8” bar would not fit. The only safe method to change these older springs is to make.

a winding bar for each hole of each cone. 2.4 The exact same is true of Older Overhead, Bar Col and Raynor torsion springs that have winding cones with inconsistent hole sizes. If you insert a 1/2 “X 18” bar in a few of these holes you can move the opposite end of the bar over four inches. I have actually had a number of the older cones spin loose from my bars, the last one creating an$ 1800 emergency space expense.

If your cones are like any of these, or if they have more than 2″ of play, leave the task of installing torsion springs to an expert garage door mechanic. Some older openers are hardwired and you will require to get rid of a fuse or flip the circuit breaker. 2.6 Disengage the opener from the door. Some garage door openers have a neutral position for the trolley disconnect. On older openers you may require to remove the L-shaped drawbar arm. We do not suggest replacing torsion springs with the garage door open. Stretching the springs the width of 8 or nine coils is difficult, and leveling the garage door can also be challenging.

In addition to the torsion springs you’ll need a minimum of one or 2 10″ vise grips, an adjustable wrench, and two 1/2″ X 18″ winding bars.
