R5 Tower Strut tension spring

[jeffmeag]

Just curious, does anyone know who manufactures the tower struts and how easy they are to replace? Mine no longer hold up our tower and I would like to replace them myself if I can find the correct replacement part. I do know that one is a 145lbs tension spring while the other is a 125lbs. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have any pictures of the struts?

Not of the full spring, just a close up of the sticker. I will try to get a full photo this week.

Does it look like a regular gas spring that holds up a car hood? If so, be sure to take pictures of what the connection at each end looks like. Also measure the extended and closed lengths.

Yes, it does. Thanks for the advice and link. I’ll have to take one off to get pics of the connector ends as they are not visible.
