Reply to comment by joshkpoetry 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

Lol how destroyed are the bolts for the height adjustment after years of using vice grips on them?

They're a little rough, lol.

Not that bad--they're more like spring-loaded pins. They had plastic hook-shaped handles to make pulling them out of height selection holes, but most of those hooks have broken off.

So I'm not using the vise grips to turn nuts/bolts. Just for grip while pulling.

Still, they're a little chewed up, lol.
