To replace the spring canister, follow the steps below.
Do not attempt to service the spring inside the spring canister.
Warning: The only service you should perform on the reel spring is replacing the spring canister. The spring is under
extreme tension and could be propelled out of the opened canister and cause serious injury.

source to eliminate the possibility of pressurized fluid injuries and/or accidental spills.

unassisted. You risk damage to the hose threads, reel and personnel.
