Steps To Follow When
Replacing Your Garage Door
Torsion Spring
• Remove the cable from each sides of the drum. Unbolt the drum from the pole
and take it off. Replace the new springs by first sliding the drum away from
the bearing plate and slide the shaft to the left.
• Lining up with the markings you made earlier, re-install the torsion hardware
by sliding the drum on the shaft, and then slip the shaft on the bearing. Then
fasten the set screws into their original dent while rotating the drum to find
the slots. Make sure the screws meet the shaft.
• Ensure that the new springs are properly installed on the exact sides of the
center bracket. Then wind the springs.
• Remove the vise grips holding the garage door and slowly check to see if the
door is functioning properly. Apply the recommended oil to the springs.
Finally connect back the opener and plug in the power cable.
