Thanks to all your past advice and help - there just isn't anything
unknown about the DIY replacement of this particular garage door torsion
spring repair. (Or so I hope.)


LESSONS LEARNED:

The only really new lesson learned was to CHECK the direction of the
bearings before winding the springs!


Look on both sides of the bearing... the worn sides face each other

.... make a chalk or pencil mark before you take it apart
