I built a simple pull tester using a PVC piping reducer screws to a pice of
wood with a central hole in the wood. I hold the assembly in a vice with
the wood in the jaws of the vice. Then I used a fish scale to test the pull
force to the specs suggested. -Even with new springs, they may be too
stiff, in which case, they need to be shortened. Or they may be too weak
and need to be pulled longer till you get the correct pull force on the fish
scale.
