So my replacement spring arrived free of charge courtesy of Air Trekkers. The packing was a little goofy, but I suppose it was fine considering it made it in one piece. Anyway, I looked at the manual that came with my bocks but it was pretty useless. It only shows how the bocks are assembled. I reviewed a YouTube spring replacement tutorial before breaking out any tools. The video I used for reference is here...
Spring Replacement Tutorial
After reviewing the video I realized I needed metric tools, so I headed over to Home Depot and scooped up a basic $7 set of forged metric wrenches. Granted it was quite annoying to use those wrenches, I was still able to get the job done. If I had to do it again, I'd get these.
So I managed to get the spring installed, and after all the running around to get the proper tools, it did tie up the end of my day after work. I didn't get to test them out until the next day, but I'm happy to report that I'm back up and jumping. No issues to report as of yet. Will keep you posted.
