I have done both but I have the overhead type single spring. I used two pieces of re-rod cut to about twelve inches long. You should have a tenson device on the end of the spring which you need to loosen the bolts on it and use the re-rod pcs in the holes on the device a hold it in place and carefully unwind the device and take the tenson off of the spring. BE CAREFULL because it will suddenly unwind if you let it go. Although if the spring is broke there will be no tenson on it. After you in stall the new spring you have to wind the spring back up again. My spring takes about 8 1/2 turns to get the proper tenson on the new spring. Be sure to block the door from coming up as you do it. Also put a clamp or vice grips on the rod that the spring is mounted on to keep it from turning as you wind the spring up. Again,Please be carefull as you wind or unwind that spring. I think I googled it the first time I did it a few years back. They can probably give you better instructions on how to do it. Its really not that hard as long as your carefull and don't let one of them rods loose as your doing it. Home Depot won't even sell you a spring because of the danger involved and lieability. The other type you have two springs, one on each side of the track up above and you just adjust the tenson on the cables that the spring is mounted to. Hope I've helped.
