These older Crawford and Mc Kee torsion spring cones were produced 5/8 “bars. In some cases, however, 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 since I utilized a 1/2″ bar when my 5/8” bar wouldn’t 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 holds true of Older Overhead, Bar Col and Raynor torsion springs that have winding cones with inconsistent hole sizes. If you place a 1/2 “X 18” bar in some of these holes you can move the opposite end of the bar over four inches.

If your cones resemble any of these, or if they have more than 2″ of play, leave the task of setting up torsion springs to a professional garage door mechanic. Some older openers are hardwired and you will require to eliminate a fuse or turn 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 might require to get rid of the L-shaped drawbar arm. We do not recommend changing torsion springs with the garage door open. Extending the springs the width of 8 or nine coils is hard, and leveling the garage door can also be challenging. Back to Leading Collect the supplies and tools required for altering the springs safely. In addition to the torsion springs you’ll require a minimum of a couple of 10″ vise grips, an adjustable wrench, and two 1/2″ X 18″ winding bars.
