I think I want to replace my side mounted garage door springs myself.
I have searched the web for instructions and found 1 semi-useful site
(www.naturalhandymand.com ) but I would really like some instructions with
photos or pictures. This will be the first time I have attempted this home
repair, and I'm much more comfortable with too much inforation than without
enough information.
Thanks,

I'll do a fair amount of stuff myself. Garage door springs with
energy and tension to shoot through my chest, however, aren't among
them. They're among the more dangerous goodies in a home IMO.

Don't wanna chase you away from saving money, but if you screw it up
you could end up disabled or dead without too much imagination.

Doh--disregard -- I wasn't aware side springs were so easy to work
with and weren't under tension all the time like the coils I've seen
so often.
