Title: VMC-56 Door Springs, how many times to wind?
Post by: scriptx on May 04, 2010, 10:29:27 pm
I am trying to get the bottle door back on the machine and I was wondering how many times most people need to wind the springs?

As always, thanks!

         Wind them as many times as possible......that's usually 3 to 4 turns

Thanks! I'll see if I can get them to 4 winds so I get a better seal on the door!

Have a scar or two from this.  Time to purchase new vice grips once they don't hold the spring more than two turns.  Ouch.
