i have been installing and repairing doors and motors for over 15yrs..i have had the center bracket come out on me,old springs snap as i took the tension off and had new springs snap as well. good luck to all of you that try it!!!

Just make sure you have all the right tools. Don't recommend to everyone.

Ghetto+Ghetto=Ghetto Fabulous

All you had to do is u-bolt the spring back together, and re-tighten it. $4.99 and you're done.
-
3. A spring does not always want to pull down. (what if you have low-head room with you cables mounded outside with your drums reversed?)
4. Do NOT use a hammer to stretch your spring. (the ends are made of cast aluminum.) SO MUCH MORE TO ADD HERE IT IS MAKING MY HEAD HURT !!!!!!
THERE ARE SOME THINGS BETTER LEFT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
-
If you slip or the spring breaks are your face and knuckles and time off work injured worth saving $100? If you don't measure right and install the wrong size spring the door will not function properly and it will damage your garage door opener.

AWESOME VIDEO! Replaced both torsion springs for $75. I Canada, this would have been very expensive hire out. Rate the difficulty at maybe 2.5 (much easier than I expected). You can buy a 36" piece 1/2" steel bar and cut in half for your "winding tools" Home Depot for $8. Trust me, do it yourself. Dont worry about the pro's, there will always be business from those that are unable or unwilling to take tasks like this on themselves. Dont believe the scare tactics.

@bronc82003 Gary is just adding that disclaimer at the beginning of his diy vid to prevent those that would sue should they try this job and subsequently spill their coffee and burn their leg (or some other variation of that theme). This is a great video from a diy'er to others of the same mind-set. I can use the money I saved to attend a NHL hockey game and watch the Vancouver Canucks embarass the Chicago Blackhawks.... :)
