Reply to comment by tuckedfexas in [Help] Please advise on how to safely remove an old garage door spring (existing guides are all for new styles of torsion spring) by moron_that_later

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I'll wait to see what else comes in but I tend to agree with you. It doesn't feel like the springs are helping much to lift and lower the door.

Of course, always smart to get more eyes on something, especially when you have potential forces involved. Yea I couldn’t quite tell from the pictures but I’m not sure how they’d even be helping anything. They don’t look like they travel enough to lift or close it lol. Most important skill for a diy/handyman to have in their pocket is knowing their limits. Lord knows I use it often!
