[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 63217, member: 782"] I never used the zip tie method , sounds good but time consuming , I have gotten really good at threading the nut while compressing the spring with a 3 ft pry bar which has a slight angle at the end ( which was a stock bend ) , the bar fits against the side the machine and the tip on the head of the bolt , it takes very little force to get a thread or two out the nut side of the plate , you do have to have some coordination to hold the bar and thread the nut with the other hand , older machine don't have a window like the new ones , the window allows you to put the nut in from the top easily , ------------ I got a tool I put together years ago , simple and gets the job done but very seldom use it as this is really an easy job once you get the feel for it , I drilled a hole in the end of my old school 7 series drive belt adjustment tool and welded a 9/16 socket to a piece of steel plate , drilled one hole thru the plate and attached the socket to the end of the bar , socket on the head of the spring bolt and pry against the side frame and it will go right in and not slip off the bolt [/QUOTE]
