Keep your hands far from the cones so that if and when the winding bar slips out of the cone and your hand jerks up, the cone does not rip your flesh or wrap your clothing and body parts into the spring. 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 because I used 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 very same is real 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 a few of these holes you can move the opposite end of the bar over 4 inches.

If your cones are like any of these, or if they have more than 2″ of play, leave the task of setting up torsion springs to an expert garage door mechanic. Some older openers are hardwired and you will require to eliminate a fuse or turn the breaker. 2.6 Disengage the opener from the door. Some garage door openers have a neutral position for the trolley detach. On older openers you may need to get rid of the L-shaped drawbar arm. We do not advise replacing torsion springs with the garage door open. Stretching the springs the width of 8 or nine coils is challenging, and leveling the garage door can likewise be challenging. Back to Top Collect the materials and tools needed for changing the springs securely. In addition to the torsion springs you’ll need a minimum of one or two 10″ vise grips, an adjustable wrench, and 2 1/2″ X 18″ winding bars.
