I wouldn’t mess with the springs without doing some serious diligence on how they work, how the tension is released, and how to reset the tension. It could be simple but I saw what happens when the spring fails and wouldn’t want to be a part of that.
I'm pretty much fearless when it comes to DIY stuff. Tore off and re-roofed a 2-story house when I was 15 or 16. But I don't f*ck with torsion springs.
