Re: [Shop-talk] weakening a spring

Ron,

   Try taking a few strokes with a file on the exposed coils. by reducing the 
wire diameter, it oughto reduce the tension.  Generally I can do this by 
running the entire length of a spring against a belt sander to reduce its' wire 
diameter and tension, but that'd be impossible with a clothes pin spring as I 
remember them.  Good Luck.

Chuck
