Remove the spring cover (see "Spring Cover Replacement" instructions). You will remove the springs from the top. A flat blade screwdriver approximately 10 inches in length is all you need for removing and replacing mat springs.

This operation is a matter of leverage and you will want to keep good control of the handle of the screwdriver at all times. To increase leverage and stability, place one side of the rebounder against an immobile object such as a couch.

Remove the two pairs of springs on either side of a hinge first.

When the 4 pairs of springs surrounding the hinge have been removed, fold the rebounder in half (See Close rebounder instructions). This will release the tension on the remaining springs and they can be removed by hand. The small black tube that is on the hook by the mat will need to be pulled off and then the springs will slip right out.

	Slide the screwdriver from the mat between the spring hook and cleat (bullhorn) on the right-hand spring of the two. The tip of the screwdriver blade will slide between the two springs and will press against the 3rd or 4th coil of the right spring. With a firm grip on the handle, rotate the screwdriver to the left (slightly above the surface of the mat). As the screwdriver rotates, it will raise the hook up and away from the cleat.
	Just prior to the spring release, the screwdriver will rotate toward the top of the spring and lift the hook upward.
	Repeat for the left-hand spring, starting on the left side and rotating right. Move to the next 2 springs and repeat the process.
