I ended up replacing both springs after the one spring broke. It was not difficult. I replaced the broken spring and and the "good" spring, but only after studied how the springs were installed on the second garage door. I used that as a guide to make sure I installed the new springs correctly. Took about 1/2 hour per spring.
BTW - if your garage has one of those "center springs" that is mounted on the hearder of the door (above the door when the door is closed) DO NOT attempt to adjust or change that spring out yourself. Those things are very highly sprung and can be very dangerous.
