Extension Spring Removal

Step 1: Raise the door to the fully open position and place vice clamps to the back legs of both vertical tracks, below the bottom rollers to prevent the door from falling. By opening the door you release most of the spring tension. Carefully unfasten the S-hook from the horizontal angle. Remove cable, sheave and extension spring. Repeat for the other side. If safety cables are running through the extension springs, remove them also. Remove parts from work area.
