All,

I've never replaced a garage door torsion spring and one of my two is
broken.
26" 1.75 ID .2187 Diameter RH spring is broke.
I probably should replace both at the same time, correct?


I would replace them both. It is a toss up, the old spring my last for
years, but for the $25 for the spring it is not worth taking the chance that
it will last longer than the other.
I replaced one spring 3-4 years ago. A month ago the other one broke. I
replaced both of them this time.
Take care doing the job. Get the proper sized bars to unwind the spring.
