These older Crawford and Mc Kee torsion spring cones were produced 5/8 “bars. Sometimes, nevertheless, the holes are too little for 5/8” bars. Whatever you do, do not utilize a 1/2 “bar; instead, grind down a 5/8″ bar to fit. I 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 replace these older springs is to make.

a winding bar for each hole of each cone. 2.4 The very same is real of Older Overhead, Bar Col and Raynor torsion springs that have winding cones with inconsistent hole sizes.

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