A&E Awning spring, fabric, and tube replacement instructions.A&E awning hardware service and replacement intructions.The above documents are courtesy of
Bryant RV services.
Yes, changing the arms could possibly be dangerous due to all the energy stored in the wound up spring - just like in an overhead garage door.
I have not looked over the documents in a long time but I suspect that the procedure would be about the same as the video you already looked at.
Hope they help you out and good luck.:)
