I figured before I break one, How are the springs with flags replaced?? Is there threads holding the spring or something else??

Come on guys, give me a clue, lots of lookers but no reply's

The spring is just threaded over a shaft using the spring as the threads. It should release if you apply reverse pressure at the start of the spring near the wood plank. If you try to reverse pressure anywhere on the spring it works like Chinese fingers and grips tighter on the shaft. Good Luck

OK figured it out, they just twist off with a little coaxing

Thank You, I remember those Chinese fingers when I was a kid, Thanks

No problem
I hope it works out because they can be a pain in the a___

I was able to get mine off but a pain to get back on. I put a dab of gun grease on it to help the rest of the way... Nam where you able to get just the springs or did you have to buy the flags with it? I'm having problems finding just the springs without the flags.
