Measure the inside diameter of the spring. The example above has an 1 3/4" inside diameter (I.D.)
Measure 10 coils to the nearest 1/16". Change the fraction into a decimal and divide by 10; that will be the wire size. For a more accurate measure, start at the 1" mark on the ruler.
Use the images above to find which way the wire is wound. This will tell you whether your spring is a left hand (LHW) or right hand (RHW).
Measure the entire spring length, excluding the end cones. Make sure to include the spring wire that is wrapped on the cones.
Use the chart to identify the wire size.
