[QUOTE="Chessie, post: 134696, member: 21571"] I've had the replacement springs for several weeks now, and I finally made some time to replace them. Now, I'm not going to tell you that I didn't bust a knuckle (darn those nuts were tight!) and I'm not going to tell you that I didn't put it back together wrong a time or two... (there is a piece of metal that is cut in the shape of a number 1, and it needs to have the top angle against the outside U-channel frame) But once I got the old springs out, they were significantly compressed (1/4"? so 3/4" (old) vs 1" (new)). I used Fast orange and a rag to clean off all of the old residue and grime from all pieces that rub together and put it back together... now when I press the bar up toward the ceiling/gauges... SNAP, it locks into place. Thanks all ... for everyone considering this... it's well worth $7 and 20 or 30 minutes. [/QUOTE]
