Can anyone tell me a safe way to replace the spring in the door hinge on my 2000 K2500 truck. I noticed one day that the spring was missing so I picked up a replacement with the intention of installing it myself. It looks as though you have to compress the spring in order to insert it in the hinge. I tried doing this using a bench vise and tying the spring up with some heavy guage wire, only to have a uncontrolable projectile shooting around my garage! There must be an easier way to do this???? Any suggestions?
Thanks
