Just because you've done one garage door (or seen one done) & read a

I never said (nor implied) I was an expert so I'm sadly confused about
your response.

In fact, I clearly & overtly said in the very first line that I had never
done it before; and in the text I said these were lessons learned from
removing and reinstalling the torsion spring a half dozen times.

So, I'm sorry if you were confused (apparently) because I also said I
read every DIY and howto and watched every video that I could find on the
net.

I meant you no harm - and I sincerely hope nobody else (erroneously)
thought I was an expert as I never represented myself as such.

[I should note I confirmed all my work with Dan Musick whom I've spoken
with only a half dozen times, yet whom I 'would' consider an expert.]
