Hey!

Mostly, you guys told how to do better, what I have already done.  :)

I do plan to disassemble the assembly (?), but would prefer to do it in the
warmth of my basement, instead of the order that they give in the manual.  I
think that I'll go ahead with that plan.

Would a machine shop be able to gauge these coil springs?
