Reply to comment by fuddykrueger 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

Those would be extension style springs then similar to OP, there are different layouts and sizes of spring. You should insider them for safety cables / ropes, they should go through the middle of the spring and be secured at both ends somewhere beyond the spring.

Okay we always hire a professional to replace the springs. My son tried once and that is when the spring popped the second time a few weeks later.
