Reply to comment by jeffersonairmattress 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

That's why you use locking pliers and the rod you use to wind the spring to hold it in place when tightening anything.

And when winding the spring, keep your body to one side(the non spring side) to avoid injury.

But you are right about the spring exploding, it's happened before(not to me)
