I saw the thread about using gloves to thighen the return spring, but no how to. My biggest problem is they don't pull out easy and get stuck.

Do not release the springs from beneath the cover. The springs can be rewound fairly simply. Pull the entire length of the belt from the reel. Then, with a dull screw driver, push the loop on the belt back through the slot in the center of the reel, while holding the reel to keep it from turning. I used a pair of vise grips to lightly grip the reel to keep it from turning. When the belt is pushed back in, you can see a pin that goes through the loop in the belt. Remove the pin, and then pull the belt out. You can then use two screw drivers to incrementally either unwind or rewind the spool. When you get it to the point you want it, just re-install the belt through the slot, insert the pin, and pull the belt so that the pin goes back into the groove in the slot. This can all be done without removing the cover on the spring. There is a thread somewhere showing this. JoeO
