The (Series II) Land Rover shop manual used to specify an old sock be used to contain the spring which was released when dismantling part of the steering gear. Tie the sock over the end of the casing, & tap out the innards...
Happy New Year to all.

Hot Dawg!!! I stand vindicated!!! Thank YOU Ned!!!
I might add ALL the springs are still attached to the door and working well since they were installed and LEFT THERE in spite of the OOmpaah from the squeakers! Y'know there's the wrong way, the comonsensical way and the OSHA way of doing something . Guess which gets more done..... Glibly adjourning to the shop..... Bill

One thing which is supposed to be common practice with those springs is to run some steel cable down the center to the attachment points. This controls how much the spring can bounce around when it breaks. With the aluminum plug, you lose this -- unless you make it long enough for two eyes to be screwed in from both ends -- one goes to the garage door -- the other to one end of the restraining cable.
Enjoy, DoN.
