I just did a fix on the spring. I am not sure how long it will last but I gave it a shot.
The spring broke at the outside. Maybe 6 or 7 coils. I took my plasma cutter and cut off the bad coils.
Then put the cone back on the spring. I tension the spring and it is back to working again.
I have never tried to this before and if it breaks again I will just get new ones.
We do not use this garage door every day so hopefully it will last for a while. It took more time to do this fix than I thought it would but it is done now.
It opens and closes fine now.
