HOW TO INSTALL PLATFORM ROCKER SPRINGS

• Step 1.  Remove the old platform rocker springs. Sometimes the old screws are missing, bent, broken or the head is stripped out. Remove the screws the best you can with as little damage to the frame as possible.

• Step 2.  Take your new replacement springs and match the holes in the unit to the chair frame. You will notice that the holes, on the rocker frame, don’t match up.

• Step 3.  You will need to “spread’ the coils in order to get the holes to match. There is a tool that will do this but unless you are replacing many spring units, you can accomplish the same results using a large flat head screwdriver.

Jam the screwdriver between the coils. As the picture shows you only need to go down a couple of coils. Now you can maneuver the screwdriver to get one end to match up with the rocker frame. With this accomplished insert a screw and tighten it down. Now go to the opposite end and repeat the process. You will see that when the two ends are attached the middle hole will be lined up. Now go to the other side and repeat the process. Then you are ready to rock.
