Awing Arm Replaced…..

I replaced on of the awning ares today and while at it I also installed a new strut on it as well. Dumb but me for got to pin that awning spring….Eeeekkk broke the bracket and had a little injury to my thumb. I knew better as I’ve had o work on my awning before. Anyways I had to improvise a way to put it back together.

Wound the spring back up and pinned it, JB weld the 3 piece's back together and made another loop bracket to go around it to hold it all together on the arm.

Well shoot, I think I wound the spring the wrong direction. Only retracts about a less then 3’ or so and comes to a dead stop as if it’s hitting some sort of block. I guess it’s time for YouTube lol.

Ouch DadsHemi! Some things I'd rather not learn the hard way. Let us know how you come out. Good luck.
