Disconnect the door opener from an electric outlet and remove arm
from the opener.
Lock and clamp door closed using vise grip tracks.
Undo all the springs and keep you face away from the winding cone.
Loosen the drum and remove the cable from the cable drum.
Loosen the track and remove the bottom bracket and free the cable
from it and remove the cable from the door. Attach the new cable into
the bottom bracket and reinstall the fasteners and tighten them up.
Place back the bracket to its original position.
Mount the cable in the drum, while ensuring it runs freely from the
bottom brackets. Ensure the cable is well fixed on the cable drum and
then you can gently tighten the screws on the cable drum.
Slip the winding bar inside the cone and wind it upwards. Fasten up
the brackets and tighten the bolts. After both cables are installed and
both cable drums are tightened down, you can release tension on the
torsion spring.
