Step-by-step instruction on installing seat spring cross brace wire on a recliner seat. Also, tips on how to check for (and avoid) brace wire "travel."
Great video. I'm actually doing a couch but it's really the same thing from the looks of it. The kit I bought had 4 springs a bunch of clips and brace wire for $21. All I had to do was measure the springs with a tape measurer before ordering to get the correct size.
@jimcovington153 - I use a scratch awl. I use a hammer to drive the tip into the side of the clip (work it back & forth inside the clip) to provide some separation between the wire & clip. Next I use tack puller to loosen the clip by prying the prongs away from the wire. You won't need to cut the wire, it will be loose once the clips are removed.
I did two 5 second videos that might help someone else to follow your directions on using the scratch awl .. How could I add these to my question and your reply???

@@jimcovington153 - I don't know. But if it's possible, I'm sure a search will provide an answer.
