How to remove mainstand spring without damaging me or frame

<< < (2/3) > >>

mike the bike:
Before I bought a spring puller tool I used a length of wire tied into a loop with one end on the spring and the other looped around a hammer handle.

2 pence pcs worked Tks for suggestion

Now that's a clever idea. Love it.

You can also put strong springs on that way too,  just bend it in an arc to open the coils then put coins in. Do it alternately adding a coin each side as you go and it'll extend until you can place it on fixings, remove coins.

5p? Nice and neat :)

You can get quite a few of them within Trigg's 99p budget as well ;)
