Spring tube should be free to rotate in
either direction. If the counterbalance
cable is still taut and the TorqueMaster

spring tube is difﬁ cult to rotate, that is an
indication that spring tension still exists
on the left hand spring. Repeat Steps 1
and 2 for releasing spring tension on the
left hand side.

Step 4: Using a ﬂ at tip screwdriver, pry
the counter gear and counter cover
from the right hand end bracket (Fig. 4
on previous page). Discard the counter
gear and counter cover. On double spring
applications, repeat for left hand side.

Step 5: Remove the upper 5/16” x
1-5/8” lag screw from the right hand end
bracket (Fig. 5). Attach locking pliers to
the upper portion of the end bracket and
hold the housing steady while removing
the lower 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screw and
#10 x 1/2” phillips head screw from the
end bracket (Fig. 6).

Step 6: Holding the right hand end
bracket steady with locking pliers,
carefully pry the end bracket and drive
gear off the winding shaft using a ﬂ at tip
screwdriver (Fig. 7).

CAUTION: THE WINDING SHAFT MAY
ROTATE WHEN REMOVING THE END
BRACKET AND DRIVE GEAR.

Step 7: Repeat Step 4 for the left hand
side. Holding the left hand end bracket
steady with locking pliers, carefully pry
the end bracket off the winding shaft
using a ﬂ at tip screwdriver (Fig. 7).

Step 8: Remove the two (2) lag bolts
attaching the center bracket assembly to
the header board (Fig. 8).

Step 9: Lift the right hand side of the
TorqueMaster

spring tube and slide the

cable drum off. Realign the groove in the
winding shaft with the radial notch in the
ﬂ agangle and drape the counterbalance
cable with drum over the ﬂ agangle. Lift
the left hand side of the TorqueMaster

spring tube and slide the cable drum
and winding shaft off (Fig. 9). Drape the
counterbalance cable with drum over the
ﬂ agangle. Lift the TorqueMaster

spring

assembly off the ﬂ agangles and out of
the doorway. Unhook the counterbalance
cables from the bottom brackets and
remove all parts from the work area.

NOTE: The cable drums may be difﬁ cult to
remove. If so, twist the cable drum to aid
in removal.

NOTE: Continue with “P4” on page 9 after
completing this step.
