How to Tighten RV Awning Springs over the slideout

Easy job just be careful what kind of tool you use you do not want the spring to suddenly unroll while tightening you might eat the tool.

I'll second this - I had to replace a broken spring on my awning - this can be a dangerous job - there is a lot of tension on the spring;

DO NOT play around with the spring in the fully extended position - there is a lot of energy stored.

I downloaded the instructions/youtube and replaced one spring - winding up the spring was "nail biting".
