Thank you! I just ordered my springs using your code! I already removed the broken springs and now just waiting for the new springs to arrive to finish the job. Your video was very helpful and allowed me to tackle the job. Thank you
I was taking my kids to the pool and ran back in the house to get towels. In the garage I heard a metal crash but very abrupt. This video is perfect! It’s only the left(red) spring but will do both. Thank you sir! And your son ! Very informative and even sharing the mistake was awesome.
These are the best instructions for replacing Torquemaster springs on the internet I have seen/read so far. Your video should deserve a five-star rating. Thank you so much for sharing with us all of the detailed steps.
Usually pretty lazy about commenting, but this one deserves extra attention. It is detailed, easy to follow for all level of expertise, and he answered a lot of the questions as he went along. Very well put together. Thank you
I replaced my garage door opener spring by myself because your video helps me to replace it correctly, and easily, so i would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH I DO REALLY APPRECIATE
Dude, this instruction video is absolutely amazing. I would give you 10 stars if I could. I now feel like I'm ready to tackle this challenge. Thank you so very much, well done!!!
This was probably the best instructional video I’ve seen on the internet. The little bits of insight and small suggestions were perfect. I hope you’ve done other videos, if you haven’t you should.
Great how-to on replacing these springs. I have to applaud the Wayne Dalton engineers for making a counterbalance system that's much easier and safer to install and service. It may not be as durable as the traditional springs, but these are less expensive.
Great instructions with demonstration. Make a complex job much easier to do. Appreciate the add on comments on the safety alert which is very important. Very clear video and thank you. I like the end clips with the humor. As a father, I can see you set great positive examples to your children. Way to go Dad.
I just wanted to say that you deserve some sort of award for this video. It enabled my wife and I to change out the springs on our garage door, and save a BUNCH of money, Thank you so much for taking the time to show folks how to do this. The project seems initially quite intimidating, but if you watch this video a couple of times, and familiarize yourself with the specifics of your own door, you too can do this. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
AmplifyDIY, you sir just saved me a bundle. My spring just broke for a second time after only about two years. This time I'll just DIY thanks to you. For those wondering, I paid $325 plus a $65 service call to fix my door last time. This time I'll fix it myself for $120. Excellent job on the video, great links, great advice and thanks for including installation mishaps as well. Keep it up and go Buckeyes!
Right on! I'm really glad this video was useful for you. Best of luck with replacing your springs yourself - it's really pretty easy. I'm happy to answer any questions that come up during your repair.
Thanks so much for your video. It helped me replace my springs. The only thing I did different was that I took the drums off prior to bring the bar down the the floor. It saved the hassle of having to deal with the cable … but I couldn’t have done it without your video!
great video. just ordered my new springs. mine broke this morning after my wife left for work. thank God it did not brake while she was driving under it. cost me $145 with tax and delivery. just waiting for them to arrive now
Thank you! I had the first version, but this was still super helpful and motivating. The only issue I ran into was getting the sleeves out. Mine were practically glued in place, but I wound them up using needle nose pliers to twist and slowly yank them out. Afterwards, i trimmed off the damaged twisted parts but I could barely get my sleeves to go back in, but everything I read said they weren’t essential except for sound damping, so I trimmed them short when i couldn’t get them to go any further. Beyond that hiccup, it was pretty straightforward.
Best video I've watched out of 5 so far! Incidentally, I was specifically looking for the mistake you made! When taking my left side off, the plastic gear fell out too, and I wanted to see if someone else had ran into it. Great job leaving that part in the video as I'm sure it will be helpful to anyone who does this on their own.
Thanks for the feedback! I like to share my mistakes for exactly the reason you mentioned: If I made that mistake, others certainly will as well. It only helps to show both the mistake and how to correct it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I have the same Wayne Dalton system and was able to easily replace the springs after watching you. I like that you left your oops moment in as well. The instructions that came with the new springs were very thorough however, your video was much easier to comprehend. Thanks again sir.
Fantastic Video! I pre-watched this while replacing the springs on my torque master plus and it was literally step by step. Made me feel extremely confident going into it. Didn’t have to read any written instructions. Even down to the gear on the left side falling out lol happened to me as well
Excellent step-by-step tutorial. I've always installed the old style (tension spring on each side), but I'm about to buy a new Wayne Dalton door that uses these springs. Just like you, I'm intimidated cause I've never installed these, but after watching your video, I feel comfortable enough to take my time and do it. Thank you for taking the time to show the details and point out the areas of concern for safety. Great job on the video and your spring replacement!
OMG! I’ve been working on this for almost 2 weeks now and I got it fixed today!! I cannot believe it! All I had to do was replace a cable. Boy did I learn there’s no such thing as replacing just a cable. Many trips to Menards for better tools and the right size cables and a drill (because I can’t find mine) and having to redo a few things because, well just because, but I can open the door now!! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thank you for your time. I really appreciated it you because I was able to do my own garage spring replacement without calling a pro and pay them just to asses the problem.
Used your video last night to replace the springs in my Wayne Dalton door. I am pretty handy around the house but have always had a hesitation for garage doors springs. This was a simple job that I feel confident anyone can do by following your lead. Great job.
Your instructions were perfect. I quoted my customer 2-3 hours and got it done in 1.5! If I had used the instructions provided I would've over thought it. Great video, thank you.
Thanks for the clear step by step. Not much of a handy guy but this video made it possible to do this task myself. You're awesome! Just saved me hundreds on repair costs.
Thank you, I do garage door service been doing it for about 2 months. Just got dropped into the field with a figure it out lol. This helped me a lot. Usually we do a torsion change over on these but I got put into a situation we’re I can’t. So I need to do some research before I got back. You put my stress to relief thank you lol
Special shout out to you! This is by far the most well thought out DIY video that I think I’ve ever seen! Thanks for making this. I have the same door except it’s a single car garage with a single spring. Thanks to this video, I was able to order the correct parts the first time and get the door working properly again. Really appreciate you and your son taking the time to make this for us!! For future reference, the single door setup is exactly half of the double door setup. Minimal differences.
Thanks for the great video! I called techs and they wanted between$1300-$1600 to convert to torsion bar. They also said this was a bad design that doesn't last, but mine lasted 14 years, and it was only 1 spring that was actually broken. Paid just under $200 for springs including delivery. This video was better than paper instructions. My son and I took just over an hour and he finished the job with a high 5 and said that was satisfying!
You just saved me almost $1000. Followed your video and finished fixing a broken spring this Sunday evening. Now, the door is working as good as new. You are a great communicator and very detail oriented. Are you an engineer or a teacher by any chance? You knew where I would mess up. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this great video! God bless!!
Your video saved me at least $200 as all the quotes I received were very high. I watched your video and literally didn't even have to rewatch it to replace my springs. I ordered from the link you provided and it took me about an hour to complete. Thanks for the excellent instructional video!
My Wayne-Dalton 16' x 8' Torquemaster Plus Left hand spring broke Mid-May 2020. Luckily my door would still open & close but it became apparent something was wrong. House is 7 years old. I found your video the best coordinated & concise repair process I've ever encountered here on TH-cam. You clearly & step-by-step covered the entire repair sequence. I found your list of sources and reference manuals to be absolutely accurate. I ordered replacement springs from your source & received the correct springs four business days later. Installation went well & my door is 100% functional once again. My thanks to your professional presentation. This is the 1st TH-cam video I've ever posted a comment on. Terrific Job!
I almost paid to have my springs replaced, then I stumbled upon your vid. Absolutely 💯 accurate and helpful. 40 mins of labor later and everything is right again Thank you!
Clear and Concise Instructions! Simply Wonderful! You are so good at teaching your audience DIY! Thank you for saving my Garage Door! I really enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next ones you do.
Perfect video to show how to replace and work a garage door spring ! This gentleman has a gift of explaining things and should be in some sort of teaching or training professional. I understood everything perfectly and that never happens. Very talented. Thank you
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. The fact that you made some mistakes, were able to talk and tell us about them was amazing. Many videos do not correct errors or do not talk about possible problems that I may run into. God bless you, keep going. BTW this is my first comment that I post.
Successfully replaced our springs with the help of this video. These instructions took away much of the apprehension we had taking on this repair. Well done!
Both my springs broke and the garage door repair place wanted $129 just to come out and look at it. I said no thanks and found your video. Ordered the springs using your link with the discount and it was $120 shipped. Just finished fixing my garage door myself for less than the service call fee. Thanks a bunch!
Amazing video! I was able to change my springs without any problems. Thank you so much for making this. You’re video quality is awesome and makes it more enjoyable to watch.
I just picked up my Torquemaster springs at my local Wayne Dalton distributer. For a 16ft x 7ft, 123 lb, 9000 series garage door. The new springs came in the tube. It came preinstalled in the metal tear drop 16 ft tube for $93 bucks. Makes the DIY job even easier! My previous springs lasted 6 years. I was getting quotes from $500 to $900, some contractors even suggesting to convert to torsion. 🤣
i am a first time home owner , after my first year in the home this is my first wtf !! problem that ive needed to fix or call a guy. After I confirmed the brand of torquemaster i have i went to you tube and your video was the second click i made , the first was of no relavance , THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO SIMPLE CLEAR AND REAL. YOUR VIDEO HAS GIVING ME THE COURAGE AND CONFIDANCE TO TACKLE THIS JOB ON MY OWN AND ONCE AGAIN LOOK LIKE A HERO TO MY WIFE.. THANK YOU AND YOUR SON SON. I AM ONE GREATFULL PERSON TO YOU FROM KILLEEN TX
Great video with detailed instructions! I just did this repair and used this video as reference. A couple things I did different. I just bent the tab on the center support to allow the bar to be removed without removing the bracket. Once I had the bar back in the brackets with the new springs, I took out the slack in the lift cables by loosening the set screw on the cable drum. Finally, instead of marking of screw to count the turns, I marked the actual socket, it was a lot easier to see. On a side note, I understand the ads in the video and the purpose....the placement became very frustrating when I wanted to "rewind" to watch again. But again I understand the purpose. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you were able to get your install done correctly, and am glad to hear about what you did differently. As for the ads - TH-cam auto-chooses where to place the ads, but I believe I have the ability to change their exact placement. I'll take a look at that and see if there are better places in the video that make more sense for ad breaks. Thanks!
Thank you for your video. It was very informative (and I made the same mistake on the gear....head smack). It allowed me to finish my job without any real difficulties. Have a wonderful holiday!!
Awesome video, very informative. My spring broke three days ago. I called a repairman and they said that the spring could not be replaced and had to get a whole new. However, I knew that that was wrong because I had already watched your video. So now I’m in the process of ordering the parts and while I wait on the parts I decided to go ahead and take everything down and once the parts get here I can slide everything in and put it back together.
Had a garage door company out today and the guy told me "they don't make these anymore" and "no company will replace them". He wanted $800 to install a whole new spring system. I almost fell for it. 20 minutes of TH-cam research and now I know the guy was full of crap. He said you can't get replacement springs! Using this video and the link provided I have ordered new springs for under $120 shipped and I know I can do the repair myself with the help of this fantastic video. Thanks for the great information!
Today was the day I replace my garage door and with this video It was done and I saved $500 plus by using this video thank you so much for posting your video
Thank you for posting this. I just changed my springs in my torque master plus garage door. The right side was broken. I did the lift test and the door was too heavy when I disconnected it. The right side spun both ways. Releasing the tension on the one good spring was the scary part for me. But once it was tension free, the rest was easy. Just take your time. This video saved me about 250 bucks. I paid 94 bucks for a set of springs on Ebay.
You're awesome! Just fixed my garage door with confidence after watching this. D+D door in west chicago was able to sell me the right springs and the whole process went smoothly
Best 25 minutes of my life... Ok that's a little exaggerated but, still, dude great job! The 22 people that gave this a thumbs down are probably garage door repair guys - LOL! Now I'm going to go fix my door.
Thank you so much, this is such a good detailed informative video. I watched many before watching this is one and none of them were as detailed as this.
Thanks for this great video! My recommended Garage repair company wanted $550 to convert this system to a torsion spring system probably because he wasn't familiar with the torquemaster springs. Following along with your guide I saved myself $350 and my install was a success!
Man dude you just saved me $500 from a quote I just got. Ordering my replacement spring right now. Crazy they wanted me to replace the whole thing and put the old torsion style spring when it’s a simple as this! 20 Stars!!!
Thanks for the video, I had to take mine apart yesterday. Rewatching your video this morning and realized you've got a Steelhead's hat on. We never miss a game.....
One of my springs was broken, the other wasn’t but I changed both. Thank you for your advice. I just changed out my springs. I did some price comparison before I made my purchase and the place you recommended was $250 cheaper than Amazon and about $50 cheaper than their other competitors. Springs arrived in 4 days and came with new plastic covers. No instructions were included though. As far as install went, your video walked me through every aspect. I did watch a very long and tedious tutorial that went through every aspect and troubleshooting possibility so if anyone hits a snag the DDS tutorial would be helpful but this video made the job very simple. 2 hours- start to finish and my garage works perfectly. Thank you!
Hi Lissa - if you close the door, then disengage the trolly by pulling the string/handle down, can you easily lift up the door? If not, one or both springs are broken. Good luck!
There are good videos for things, and then there are great videos like this one. Thank you for this - just went from a $600 estimate to less than $130. Greatly appreciate your attention to the important details with this!!
I was quoted almost $1,000 for a pro company to replace the entire system with the old spring type. I prefer to stay with the Wayne Dalton system that the builder had put on my home. Most of my neighbors are changing to old spring type because apparently pro company's do not make any profit on Wayne Dalton spring system replacement. I personally like the fact that the springs under tension are inside the rod and don't make a loud bang if they snap.
Great instructions, thank you so much. Both springs just broke in my garage and after getting quoted over $700 to get it fixed, I watched your video, ordered the springs from Amazon for just over $200 and got it fixed under 45 minutes.
This is a great video. One thing that I would recommend is to not unscrew the center bracket. Just bend the metal tab on the top to release the center bracket.
Excellent video, I have the exact same Wayne Dalton torque master plus double spring garage door opener system, how lucky am I !!!! You explained everything really great. And I'm now familiar with how my garage door operates Thank You! I have a broken left spring I believe!
Fantastic! I’m so glad the video was helpful. Even if you only have one broken spring now, it’s a good idea to replace them both at the same time. Once the first one has broken, the second one is never very far behind…Good Luck!

This was probably the best instructional video I’ve seen on the internet. The little bits of insight and small suggestions were perfect. I hope you’ve done other videos, if you haven’t you should.

I just picked up my Torquemaster springs at my local Wayne Dalton distributer. For a 16ft x 7ft, 123 lb, 9000 series garage door. The new springs came in the tube. It came preinstalled in the metal tear drop 16 ft tube for $93 bucks. Makes the DIY job even easier! My previous springs lasted 6 years. I was getting quotes from $500 to $900, some contractors even suggesting to convert to torsion. 🤣
Great job fixing it yourself!
i am a first time home owner , after my first year in the home this is my first wtf !! problem that ive needed to fix or call a guy. After I confirmed the brand of torquemaster i have i went to you tube and your video was the second click i made , the first was of no relavance , THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO SIMPLE CLEAR AND REAL. YOUR VIDEO HAS GIVING ME THE COURAGE AND CONFIDANCE TO TACKLE THIS JOB ON MY OWN AND ONCE AGAIN LOOK LIKE A HERO TO MY WIFE.. THANK YOU AND YOUR SON SON. I AM ONE GREATFULL PERSON TO YOU FROM KILLEEN TX
I'm so gad it was helpful! You can do it! I'd love to hear how the project turns out for you. Good luck!
I wish all the manufacturers use you to do videos for them! It was by far most professional and informative videos!
Glad you like them!
I JUST FIXED MY GARAGE... BY MYSELF.... IN 20 MINUTES THANKS TO THIS VIDEO!!! 18'x8' 229lbs
Awesome, Nascar!
Great video with detailed instructions! I just did this repair and used this video as reference. A couple things I did different. I just bent the tab on the center support to allow the bar to be removed without removing the bracket. Once I had the bar back in the brackets with the new springs, I took out the slack in the lift cables by loosening the set screw on the cable drum. Finally, instead of marking of screw to count the turns, I marked the actual socket, it was a lot easier to see. On a side note, I understand the ads in the video and the purpose....the placement became very frustrating when I wanted to "rewind" to watch again. But again I understand the purpose. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you were able to get your install done correctly, and am glad to hear about what you did differently. As for the ads - TH-cam auto-chooses where to place the ads, but I believe I have the ability to change their exact placement. I'll take a look at that and see if there are better places in the video that make more sense for ad breaks. Thanks!
Thank you! That was a great video. I am having the same issue and just ordered the parts. Keep up with the great info!
Thank you for your video. It was very informative (and I made the same mistake on the gear....head smack). It allowed me to finish my job without any real difficulties. Have a wonderful holiday!!
Hey Daniel - I'm so glad it was helpful! Here's to a better new year!
Awesome video, very informative. My spring broke three days ago. I called a repairman and they said that the spring could not be replaced and had to get a whole new. However,
I knew that that was wrong because I had already watched your video. So now I’m in the process of ordering the parts and while I wait on the parts I decided to go ahead and take everything down and once the parts get here I can slide everything in and put it back together.
Nice! Hopefully your parts arrive quickly. Best of luck completing the job!
Man this is exactly what we needed. Great video man.
Had a garage door company out today and the guy told me "they don't make these anymore" and "no company will replace them". He wanted $800 to install a whole new spring system. I almost fell for it. 20 minutes of TH-cam research and now I know the guy was full of crap. He said you can't get replacement springs! Using this video and the link provided I have ordered new springs for under $120 shipped and I know I can do the repair myself with the help of this fantastic video. Thanks for the great information!
Love it! Best of luck with your door. I’m happy to try to answer any questions that come up.
Today was the day I replace my garage door and with this video It was done and I saved $500 plus by using this video thank you so much for posting your video
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for posting this. I just changed my springs in my torque master plus garage door. The right side was broken. I did the lift test and the door was too heavy when I disconnected it. The right side spun both ways. Releasing the tension on the one good spring was the scary part for me. But once it was tension free, the rest was easy. Just take your time. This video saved me about 250 bucks. I paid 94 bucks for a set of springs on Ebay.
Nice job getting the springs replaced yourself!
Awesome instructions... details, precise, and to the point. Thank you!
Thank you ! Love your DIY and music . Your video very helpful for me . Thank 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Used this video to order replacement springs. Got them today and now my garage door works again! Thanks for the great instructions!😊
Great job Jorel!
You're awesome! Just fixed my garage door with confidence after watching this. D+D door in west chicago was able to sell me the right springs and the whole process went smoothly
You just made my day! I love hearing that my videos help someone. Thanks!
Best 25 minutes of my life... Ok that's a little exaggerated but, still, dude great job! The 22 people that gave this a thumbs down are probably garage door repair guys - LOL! Now I'm going to go fix my door.
Thank you so much, this is such a good detailed informative video. I watched many before watching this is one and none of them were as detailed as this.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this great video! My recommended Garage repair company wanted $550 to convert this system to a torsion spring system probably because he wasn't familiar with the torquemaster springs. Following along with your guide I saved myself $350 and my install was a success!
Hey, That's awesome to hear, Adrian! Nice job getting it done yourself!
This is the BEST garage spring video on TH-cam! Amazing work!
Thank you!
Yes this is best video ever on TH-cam
Man dude you just saved me $500 from a quote I just got. Ordering my replacement spring right now. Crazy they wanted me to replace the whole thing and put the old torsion style spring when it’s a simple as this!
20 Stars!!!
Awesome, Sergio!
Excellent trainer and made me more confident about doing myself. Humor helps too.
Thanks for the video, I had to take mine apart yesterday. Rewatching your video this morning and realized you've got a Steelhead's hat on. We never miss a game.....
Let's go Steelies!!!!
I am now confident going into replacing my torquemaster spring! Thanks so much and God bless you!
You can do it, Michael! I'm happy to try to answer any questions you run into. Good luck!
Great, steps and thorough instructions. Good job!!!
Well that made it easy for me to understand and I feel confident that I can do this. Now to order the new springs.
It’s really not hard at all! I’m happy to answer any questions you run into with your replacement. Good luck!
One of my springs was broken, the other wasn’t but I changed both. Thank you for your advice. I just changed out my springs. I did some price comparison before I made my purchase and the place you recommended was $250 cheaper than Amazon and about $50 cheaper than their other competitors. Springs arrived in 4 days and came with new plastic covers. No instructions were included though.
As far as install went, your video walked me through every aspect. I did watch a very long and tedious tutorial that went through every aspect and troubleshooting possibility so if anyone hits a snag the DDS tutorial would be helpful but this video made the job very simple. 2 hours- start to finish and my garage works perfectly. Thank you!
Hi Lissa - if you close the door, then disengage the trolly by pulling the string/handle down, can you easily lift up the door? If not, one or both springs are broken. Good luck!
There are good videos for things, and then there are great videos like this one. Thank you for this - just went from a $600 estimate to less than $130. Greatly appreciate your attention to the important details with this!!
Glad it was helpful!
I was quoted almost $1,000 for a pro company to replace the entire system with the old spring type. I prefer to stay with the Wayne Dalton system that the builder had put on my home. Most of my neighbors are changing to old spring type because apparently pro company's do not make any profit on Wayne Dalton spring system replacement. I personally like the fact that the springs under tension are inside the rod and don't make a loud bang if they snap.
Very helpful video for this model, replaced it myself as well! Thank you!
Great instructions, thank you so much. Both springs just broke in my garage and after getting quoted over $700 to get it fixed, I watched your video, ordered the springs from Amazon for just over $200 and got it fixed under 45 minutes.
Awesome, Crusaderhun! Glad to hear you were able to fix up your springs yourself and save a bunch of money. Cheers!
This is a great video. One thing that I would recommend is to not unscrew the center bracket. Just bend the metal tab on the top to release the center bracket.
The best, most detailed, no extra be video I've seen. Great job sir! Keep them coming!
Thank you!
Thanks for the information. It was very helpful for my installation.
Just changed mine out here in a sweaty garage in Las Vegas, and this video saved me tons of time and money. Great video! Thanks!! 👍
Glad it helped, Perry!
Dude! You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for this video.
WOW!!! so well explained it. didactic and very clear, thank you very much for the video
I have the exact same setup as you and thanks to your video it only took a couple hours to replace the springs. Thanks
Nice work!
PERFECT! Thank you for this. Exactly what I needed.
Great instructions. I ordered my spring from the place you suggested. Installation was easy and the door works again. Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Excellent video, I have the exact same Wayne Dalton torque master plus double spring garage door opener system, how lucky am I !!!! You explained everything really great. And I'm now familiar with how my garage door operates Thank You! I have a broken left spring I believe!
Fantastic! I’m so glad the video was helpful. Even if you only have one broken spring now, it’s a good idea to replace them both at the same time. Once the first one has broken, the second one is never very far behind…Good Luck!
You SIR deserve 1 million subscribers.
Thanks so much for the video. It is just what I need to replace mine.
