Great video! My garage door torsion spring broke this morning as my wife was trying to leave for work. I was shocked to see the average cost to have this fixed by a professional is around $240. After watching your video I ran to Menards and for $40 I fixed it myself. Door works perfectly now!

hey thx much for the video,did u say to turn the spring clockwise 30 turns ?

pretty good... but you want to use a 7/16s socket (12 tooth) NOT A CRESENT WRENCH and you NEVER hold the winding bars in front of your face.. you put your ladder to the side and wide them sideways... there is several techniques to do this... you picked the slowest and most dangerous way to show it...
I don't usually post comments on youtube but you just saved me $200. Everything from marking the bars, to the hammer with a socket, to holding tension with the vice grips made this a piece of cake. Thanks.

I wouldnt recommended unwinding the spring with the bars right in front of your face

@hexbugger I agree try and keep the bar off to the side, more by your shoulder.
