One of the most accurate and concise videos on installing springs. Everything covered here was exactly as was taught to me by my company's experienced garage door installers. Awesome job.

Best tutorial I have ever watched. I have looking at other videos and they never explained the process as good as you. Thanks

After having discovered a broken spring in my two spring system, I found your site, measured the spring with your clear instructions, ordered the kit and within a few days I was ready to watch this video and replace both springs and bearing plates included with the kit along with the rods used for winding/unwinding. This was my first time ever replacing springs of this sort and took my just over an hour taking caution unwinding and winding, in particular.Thomas, thanks for the great tutorial and tips on the spring replacement!

Thank you very much. By your video I save a big money. Just 2 springs, 2 end bearing plate and 2 rack or rails. Total is $300. Instead of replacing new one $1,300. Thank again my friend!

I used this video to learn how to replace my garage door torsion springs. I had no prior experience and I did this easily. Great video, good tips. Thanks. My grandkids are impressed. They call me Memaw, Finder, Fixer, Untier of kKnots!!

Ive looked at a bunch of videos, by far this is the best, no ego here, lots of great little hints that others do not want to share, thanks for providing this.......

First and only only video to mention bearing plate replacement, great video..

Some guy had a seisure and backed up his car into my garage door, it bent the hell out of it and caused the tension wires and rollers to go out of whack, well, after some hammering and metal straightening I looked up a video on setting up the wires and springs, yours came along and helped me set my garage door back to operational condition, thank you very much! You're a good teacher. Cheers from Texas!

Your video saved me so much money. Spring broke on wednesday. Went online to see if this was something I could fix myself. Found your video. Ordered spring. Got it Friday and by Friday evening my door was operational again using your video and spring. I'm not much of a do it yourselfer, but this was great

This is first time I have ever left a comment for anything on the internet...Bottom line - great job. .... " hell of an instructor! " thank you Mr. Mello

I am a hero at home thanks to you. Fixed door that has been broken for about a year now. Wooden door so heavy I couldn't lift it manually with broken spring. Completed the job plus insulation in an evening. Thanks.

what you did in an 18 minute video took me 6 hours, 4 hours running to 3 different stores ( one I thought would have springs, one said they had springs, and a third that actually had springs ) , 1 hour for lunch and probably an hour of actual work. Thanks so much for your video - it was perfect.

Fastest winding bar man I have ever seen, very experienced you are, thank you no worry's about forget that spring, thank you for sharing your expertise sir

The best and more accurate video I have ever watched about replacing those springs…..you covered everything man, I am sure everyone who watches this video will easily do the job, thanks a lot man.

Excellent video. Replacing the springs went pretty smoothly. Don't get the drums mixed up. (I did, of course.) But if you do, it will be pretty obvious when you try to put the cable in the slot. The hardest part for me was replacing a bad cable.

now this is a good tutorial. finally someone that doesnt spend 15 minutes blabbing about dumb shit and got down to it. this video helped me fix my garage door. very good how to. kudos

I give you 6 stars. After watching your video a couple of times I was able install my new spring with in 45 minutes, and it probably saved me at least $400.00 or more.

I wish there was some info given about the middle bearing, but nothing was said. Otherwise, and It's a great tutorial, and it gives me confidence to do my own torsion springs. Thank you!

Great tutorial video. The gentlemen, showing how to install a new spring and bearing clearly explained safety and right way of installation. Very helpful instructions. Thank you.

I was able to replace my garage door torsion springs successfully using this video as my guide. Thank you so much. 5 star video.

I have done this job before. But your very comprehensive tutorial has shown me some extremely important facts about the bearings. Thank you for this tutorial it will make my finished product better and safer.

Best Video I have seen on replacing torsion springs. Value-added advice at each step with an explanation of what he is doing and why. Well done!

Thanks for the video. I like it when I can learn a little something that I either missed, or the info wasn’t included in a video. So far your video was the only one I can recall that had the turn to height ratio for the springs. Most videos say 30-31 quarter turns, but do not give alternatives for different heights in doors. Keep up the good work man!

This was a real learning experience! I had no idea that replacing springs was relatively easy!! My poor old sectional door is so heavy and only one left side spring on the torsion rod! It was really difficult to manually lift it up so bought new 3/4 hp opener and does it struggle getting the lip off of the ground! I now see i should have TWO new springs and bearings and once balanced, the opener should last for many years to come! Many thanks for your expertise!

One of the best demonstrations I have seen on You Tube. He is an expert who knows what he is doing. Thank You.

Thank you sir. Probably the best tutorial on torsion spring replacement on KZfaq. I looked at several.

This was the best instructional garage door spring video I have seen... and I have watched more than a few.

Why did u stop making videos? U make the most comprehensive videos out there

THANKS, THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO,MOST PEOPLE DO NOT SHOW THE VISEGRIP IN PLACE.

About an hour ago I finished replacing my springs. I used the info in this tutorial to do that and to balance the garage door. That took about two hours because I was careful and nervous. Yes I used winding bars. I used a variety of videos and websites to choose the material that needed to be purchased though. I never found one that explained, to my satisfaction, how to measure the end bearing plates so that I wouldn't order the wrong ones. Because of that I didn't replace those, this time. They're old but not shot. I would have liked to replace them however. I then went to your roller replacement video and used that to replace the rollers in about five minutes. Fantastic tutorials. Thanks.

Thank you you saved me some real cash changed both sprongs & bearing hardware brackets in 52 minutes tested it and every thing was AOK,awesome ..

This video is by far the best! Perfect step-by-step explanations for DIY replacement.

Nice point telling how to tell the bearings are worn, and great suggestion to replace them at the same time replacing the springs

Thank you I was able to fix my own garage door with your video.

Absolutely the best video for the end-to-end process, even including tips that may be needed to address challenges that people may see. Thanks!

Well spoken, knowledgeable and a good teacher.

That may be the best "how to" video I have seen on KZfaq

Thank you very much Thomas! The video is excellent! I followed everything step by step and was able to fix my garage door...I encourage everyone to subscribe! Thank you again!

So thankful you share this info. I just noticed I have a broken spring. You gave me the confidence I needed to do this job. I just changed the rollers. Thanks again.

How are you not famous yet? I love these!

Watched a few videos before stopping on this one. First time doing this myself. Great stuff. It walked me through everything perfectly. 👍👍

This is the best video out there for this fix. Great job. I fixed mine in about 30 minutes with no experience.

I have an exam in two hours and don't even have a garage door. 10/10 would recommend!

Well I defiantly learned a bunch by watching this. Now I know why my other door isn't working right. Thank you so much for this video. Gene from Iowa :)

Hey Thomas, Great video!!! I completed a torsion spring replacement on my garage door and very thing worked as you described. Thank you very much!!!

Fantastic.. no fanfare just direct advice.

Awesome video. I was able to go from a torque master plus system to a complete torsion system following your instructions. I thank you a million since by doing so I was able to save approximately $300.

Just finished replacing my springs thanks to this video!! Great video!!

Made my repair so easy from start to finish! Highly Recommend this video and company.

Wow, very nice job. Truly a professional. Thanks for your help, I feel confident I can adjust my springs. JB

Excellent tutorial!! I follow all the steps and hints and I did the job with success thanks to you and your tutorial.

Awesome Tutorials Tom, Very detailed and succinct videos, Well Done Sir!

you are a good teacher...thanks a lot.

Thanks for your videos they matter a lot to us homeowners, every once in awhile my door would hang up and the cable would unravel off the spool and I just realized it must be those bearings? hopefully I can find just that part thanks for the help ! ☆☆☆☆☆.

After your garage door is installed, with the door closed paint a white line along the spring so that you can see at a glance if the spring has started slipping. Also acts as a guide when resetting it

Excellent video. I'll watch your other video on how to measure the springs before getting started on my G door. Thanks.

Thanks for helping me change my spring today. The only thing I did differently is I put tension on the spring first, before winding the wire on the spools. I left the winding bar rest on the top of the garage door with tension on the spring, wound and tightened the spools, then came back and tightened the spring. This way the vice lock pliers are not needed. With tension on the spring, the rod wouldn't spin and I could get better tension on the spools, although the spring will do that automatically it seems. I guess it made it more straightforward and also the vice lock pliers are omitted, in case someone doesn't own that tool.

very good video congratulations thank you for showing how to change the springs

This Is A Masterclass Tutorial!👏👏👏

You wound those springs with incredible speed yet I could tell it was controlled skill. Impressive!

This is the video that gave me to confidence to do it. Door is fixed and smooth. Thanks.

Thanks. This was really good. You make it easy to understand how to safely install and inspect the garage door springs. Thanks for the insight on the bearing plates. I will inspect those when I check the spring tension and cable tension. Regards. R J

awesome video! Thanks for making this! My torsion spring just broke, I'll be doing this next weekend.

Did it... Not bad at all. The video is very well done and DO replace the end bearing plates as noted on the video. Thanks!

Very good bro. I will follow your instructions to do mine today.

I like all series of videos made by this guy and he looks professional and experienced and reliable. But some red painted parts still are better to be done by those professional guys as these red painted parts have tensions and are dangerous.

Congratulations, Excellent video
