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, don’t utilize a 1/2 “bar; instead, grind down a 5/8″ bar to fit. I just recently had a Mc Kee spring let loose after winding due to the fact that 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.

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