Window Awning Spring Replacement

Recommended Posts

I need to replace, at least one, spring on my main slide out window awning. I haven't found any good information on the internet. I'm pretty handy and will try it anyway, but would appreciate any guidance for this task.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

Your awning would be an 8500 series. These springs are loaded with a good amount of tension, so one needs to use caution when working with them !!

You may have a broken one and it would be unloaded, but do not get fooled ! They can weaken and still pack a punch.

Think safety when working on them!

Link to your part. You can see what they look like. The part numbers are there ID Number.

As Rich warned, those springs can be dangerous!!!!!!!!!!

I use two pairs of visegrips to wind or unwind, also, there is a place to put a pin in, that will be removed when winding or unwinding, put that pin back in between bites of the pliers. Think safety.

Good luck, Kay
