Working with spring pressure is hazardous. I would first suggest that you see the risks and notices portrayed in our instructional exercise on torsion spring substitution.
The least complex arrangement would be to embed a twisting bar in the twisting cone of the spring, slacken the set screws, and let the flip side of the winding bar lean against the highest point of the entryway. Do this to both springs on the off chance that you have two springs. The pole will be allowed to turn and you can supplant the links and reset and secure your link drums.
The best solution is to find a budget friendly garage door service who can advise you on it.
