Use this steel right hand wound torsion spring to replace broken garage door springs. It includes stationary and winding cones with .243 in. wire size x 2 in. inside dimension x 32 in. length with yellow color code. This torsion spring is a regular duty spring with an estimated lifetime rating of 10,000 cycles. These types of torsion springs provide lifting force for heavy garage doors and must be selected by the spring’s dimensions, rather than the door’s weight. See the product specifications with illustrations found in Prime-Line’s Torsion Spring Selection Guide to assure that the proper replacement spring has been selected. These winding rods are used to wind and unwind the tension on torsion springs and they are the only tools recommended for this purpose. 2 winding rods are required for torsion spring replacement. When dual spring installations are involved, it is important to correctly install both the left and right wind springs during the same job. In the case of dual spring installations, note that the proper use of LEFT WIND & RIGHT WIND springs is imperative. Also, when dual spring installations are involved, it is important to replace both springs, as replacing only 1 spring may add increased strain to the older non-replaced spring. As an important safety precaution: all broken or malfunctioning hardware should be replaced with matching hardware, without any modifications. These garage door torsion springs can cause serious injury if not handled and installed properly. If attempting to replace the torsion springs yourself, it is important that the removal or adjustment of torsion springs is not attempted with any other tool other than Prime-Line’s item number GD-52238. Failure to utilize Prime-Line’s item number GD-52238 for the replacement of these springs may result in severe personal injury. Note: To determine the handing of your torsion
