Nice to know.

I own three 4x6 and never had to remove tension spring. Each one had upgrades from last .?

I will keep this one in mind if ever need to replace the spring.?

Ahh.... some do and some don't.? That only works if the adjustment screw is long enough for the spring to go slack.? If it too short, like this yr2000 RF128,
you need to lengthen the spring somehow.
This is how I did? it:?
Get 20-30 small washers (~1/4" internal diameter or less)
Put the spring vertically in a vice
Bend the spring and insert the washers into the gaps that open up, some on one side, then bend the other way, so the spring remains more or less straight
Put enough washers in so that you can get at least 2-3 turns of the handle onto the screw
The washers all fall out the first time the spring is stretched - jv?
