Re: door spring
If you have a Harbor Freight store close by they sell that tool.

Re: door spring
I don't think that tool will work with the torsion type springs used in these trucks.
It's made for the coil type springs like the ones used in the 88-98 trucks and many years of GM cars. I think you need to remove the hinge (or the door) to install a new factory-style torsion spring. I have seen some aftermarket replacement torsion springs that attach via one of the hinge mounting bolts. I think those are designed to be installed with the hinge & door still on the truck. |
