OK, won't say I did or didn't. Every place I called was roughly the same price to replace both springs.

You can do it if you aren't an idiot. Be careful and take your time.

Just finished! No issues whatsoever. No injuries either although I have a feeling my back will be fricked tomorrow.

ETA: I used this video as a guide fwiw

This is only website you'll need. I just did mine. $95 for the springs and about 45 minutes time.

The website has all the videos you'll need.

Yep. This is the door all the way down. What's wrong with that?

At the time , we were talking about torsion springs. You don't have those. Your type , although not nearly as dangerous , are much more of a pain in the arse imo. And yes, you could vice grip the track and make it easier to do with door up with that type of spring. My apologies.
