If you are a proficient diy'er, you can buy replacements and install them yourself (take note of the painted spots on the old springs, they denote the capacity of the spring). That being said, the average bear won't want to tackle this job because it's dangerous. Very difficult to wind the springs to the correct tension, and lock them in place.
