I had to remove a spring recently on a Poulan P3516PR that I’m trying to bring back to life. The recoil was totally clogged with years of dried oil and debris. The housing and the spring both needed a thorough cleaning that brake cleaner couldn’t remove, plus it needed a new pull cord. The diameter of the space was smaller. I wound the spring in on the bench, rotating the housing while feeding in the spring and keeping downward pressure at three points of contact at all times. I could tell from your experience that my spring was much more difficult due to the smaller diameter of the housing. It absolutely does take a good amount of patience and a couple of attempts at starting the spring into the housing before I figured out that two points of contact were not enough. With the downward pressure needed it’s obvious I could never do it up in mid-air the way you were able to do it. I guess some recoils will be easier to do than others. Thanks for the video. 👍
I try not to remove the springs if I don't have to. Sometimes though, just like you stated, they're so filthy a person has no choice but to remove them to clean. Some are definitely easier than others. Good work on yours! Glad you got 'er licked.
Hi I managed to do it very happy after 10 goes or so, I found out that I had to clean every thing then it worked out easy thanks for that tip cheers from down under

This is a level 4 Shao-lin monk training exercise for focus
I would totally agree! Also a good idea to wear safety glasses.
Ha! You got me laughing pretty good on that one! Too funny.
@@Rein_Ciarfella I agree, safety glasses are a good idea!
Hi, I like to roll it up in my fingers then I take my mini long nose vise grips lock it up & then I set into the recoil housing..😳🤔🤗🤙🏾
I've wined it up by hand and hold with tip ties, then drop in cover!
More great info! Thanks for sharing buddy! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
