Can anyone give me advice on removing the springs on my centre stand??..... I want to paint it...... Also some thoughts on how to paint it?? I have a compessor so i could spray it..... or I could hand paint enamel?....... Powder coating is an option but its expensive and time consuming.
Any thoughts appreciated.
There are other videos and other methods (e.g., spring stretching tools), but pre-loading the springs with coins, washers, or something similar is quick and easy. Give it a try.
When you have to fight springs, needle nose Vise-Grips are very handy. Also, do not do this on the lawn. When springs start flying, it's all over but the trip to the dealers. %^D
