The old spring comes off the shaft, a matched replacement goes on sized to the door's weight, and the door gets rebalanced before anyone runs it again.

Why a garage door torsion spring replacement can't be a patch job

The torsion spring is doing almost all the lifting on a garage door; the opener only guides a door the spring has already balanced. Once that spring is gone — snapped, or wound down from age — there's no tightening, lubricating or resetting that brings it back. The whole spring gets swapped, sized to match what the specific door weighs, or the new one leaves the door out of balance and straining the opener within weeks.
