Reply to comment by moron_that_later 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

Looking at your picture, when you replace them run a safety rope or cable through them. When extension springs break they can launch violently. Extension springs are safer for the installer but more dangerous in use if there’s no safety cable.
