How do you stretch the spring so as to reach the other side when you have inserted the first end? I have been trying everything. (Sorry I am only a woman with not enough strength in my hands)
you can either use a ratchet strap or enlarge the spaces in between the S's and once you tuck it into its place, tighten it back by squeezing with a plier. be careful, the other end may snap
Not this easy when you have to stretch the spring to connect it to both attachment points. I just did this to a La-z-boy rocker recliner. I used an Irwin quick grip bar clamp to stretch the spring. Made it fairly easy. Very little blood was spilled. 😆
