Exhaust springs removal / relatching

Apologies if someone else has come up with this before, but I just discovered a super easy way to remove and attach these (having had a pig of a time last time I did it).

Using a cable tie and an old coathanger (for the hidden one), you can slide the cable tie onto the spring, delicately feed through the coathanger and use it the pull the spring off (and reattach later).

Made the whole thing super simple and easy.



Hoping the genius move will make up for not tightening the baffle screw enough, losing the baffle at cadwell park and needing to remove the exhaust to get the screw out!

 

Good idea but snipe nose pliers for me don't like the thought of cable tie snapping and bark off hands ooch

 

You can get a string puller for a couple of quid

 

pliers and a strong grip,, oh and gritted teeth.

 

Makes an easy job difficult.

 

i found it easy just grip the spring before the hook ?

 

Demon tweeks

 

£7.99?

I can still just about buy a pint for that down in this neck of the woods!

 

I only need two pints so it's a good deal haha

 

£3.49 inc free postage on the bay.

 

i use a tent peg bend the other end put some tape on it so it doesn't dig in to your fingers when you pull . cost / PENCE

 

Stop it. I spend enough money on eBay as it is!

 

Looked on outdoor world website couldn't find any gay tent pegs can you mail me one ?

 

Bought a similar one of these from eBay and the hook snapped off first useage.

 

See if any of the neighbours have a kids trampoline as ours came with a spring puller to set it up, might have one lying around.

 

Done mine today with a pair of clamp pliers doddle !

 

I use an old wire coat hanger bent to the required shape and the other end wrapped around a short length of doweling to make a 'T' handle, had it for donkeys years now without any snaps - breakages etc ..... and cost naff all
