Just wanted to say thanks. Also, because of the quality of your instruction I was able to see that the original installer failed to flip the bushing prior to bolting the old spring to the wall bracket.
My door is big and has two springs. Is it common for the springs to be different lengths. The one that broke is 22” and the other is 24”. I measured multiple times.
I'm new to all this, but based on my research, the spring that isn't broke still has tension and is probably the one measuring shorter. Both springs need to be completely decompressed for an accurate measurement.
@LukesGarage I removed both my springs last night. I was blown away to find out someone had installed a 24" spring on the right, and a 26" spring on the left. No surprise it was the 24" spring that failed.
@@The_El_Guapoboth time the longer one, which is on the right if standing inside the garage, broke on me. I replaced both. We opened and closed our garage door continuously and wore out the springs!
Very very good video I will be using this all day tomorrow!
Very good video! Easy to follow instructions! THANKS
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
Very nicely done. About to have to do this on mine.

my other - unbroken spring had 218-25 stamped on the spring, made ordering the replacement easy
Was the bushing installed correctly? It was turned about
Excellent video you just saved us a ton of money Bud. Thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial, you made it look so easy.
Thanks, Now I need to figure out how much to charge 🤑

@@The_El_Guapo Appreciate the reply, I paid someone to do it. Wasn’t t worth my time or safety to try to attempt.

Absolutely fantastic. You're a lifesaver
Could you help tell me a little bit details about the vise grip you used in the video? Thank you very much!
Great and very informative video
You need to spray wd40 on your spring every fall because the rust causes breakage 50% of the time.
You never use WD-40 it dries faster and will cause rust faster. You gotta use lubricant goon
Most excellent. You are a great instructor. Thorough and easily understood. Thank you!!!
Excellent explanation and beautiful production!
