Perfect! One side broke at the bottom loop and so I figured I'd go to Lowes and grab a replacement. As you mentioned, they only sell the longer extension spring cables, but I thought I could cut it and crimp a barrel on it. Wrong! Regular pliers do not work for this. Scavenged a cable from the door we don't use and tried for an hour to get it on. Seemed impossible with the cable tension so I called for service, but they were closed for the day. Watched this video, ordered the right parts and a pair of vise grips on Amazon and they arrived the next day. In 30 minutes, I replaced the broke cable and did the other side too since that cable was frayed. Not a lot of room to work on the ladder, but I got it done and saved a large service fee. Thanks again!

A shockingly fast, flawless fix. Thank you, very much. If there is a Menards store in your state, you might find the cables sets for the 8’ and 7’ foot doors in the aisle- I did tonight. My store had them mixed on the hook, so make sure you grab the right set. They have a cheap 3 pack of vise grips too, if yours have gone missing.

Great video! Went to the comments section. Didn't even watch other videos anymore after checking out the positive feedbacks. After 2 hours I replaced both cables. Took longer than anticipated because my door is old school from the early 90's. There's no knob fixture at the bottom of the door to hook the cable to. Instead there's a rod with a pin so the only way to remove the cable is to pull down the whole bracket/roller assembly about 2 inches so that I can slide the rod out to free up the cable. Safer design but not repair friendly. Thanks for this great video i saved a couple hundreds. 🤙🏽

After (a lot) more perseverance I was able to pry off the old cables. I did this after verifying the loops on the new cables would fit over the knob on the bottom bracket. I think what happens is the loop elongates over time and mine just fit much tighter which is probably a good thing. I think the only additional tip I'd make is to put a bend in the cable where it comes out of the wheel and wraps around, so it conforms better without a little hump there. Otherwise, I think this was best video. Trying to change the cables with the door down causes the bottom brackets to be jammmed near the floor with little access to get the cables off the hub (in my case). Thanks for the video.

@garagedoorgenius 3 жыл бұрын

That's great news you got it off! And also, great tip. People will read this and gain something from it. Also, you don't want to try and take cables off when the door is down. That's when the tension is applied and very dangerous. Do it with the door open. Tension is reduced GREATLY. Allowing you to do the cable change without fighting spring tension. Thanks for watching my video Dan! 👍🏼

Thanks for the video. One note - If your rollers are going bad, or you just want to replace them, now is the time to replace the roller where the cable attaches as well.

I got quotes for this work between $100-$240, but legit followed this video and replaced it in 5 mins by simply following advice and buying cables from Amazon. Lowes, and home depot do not carry these! I would add a bit more advice however, make sure the cable lengths are the same as the one you are taking off. There are different lengths, but i found mine was 8’6 and i measured the new cable and old cable to make sure they are the same length before attempting to do the install.

Thanks! Somehow the loop on one of my cables had gotten frayed and was hanging by one strand. Only found it by accident while lubing the door for noise. Interestingly, when the replacements arrived and I got the damaged one off, it was 4 inches shorter than the new one. My guess was that since it was on a spring, it would've taken up the slack. I was wrong. The effect was that the opposite side of the door didn't close by about 4 inches. Since there was nothing wrong with the other cable, I wasn't going to replace it. But then I had to. And that turned out to be a good thing as it was frayed for an unknown reason much higher up.

Thanks for the video. Had the right idea, but wanted to see someone else do it first to make sure. At 4 min 30 sec mark you came THIS close to becoming spider-man ;)

HI, I got one of the tensioner cables snapped, and now i bought the new tensioner cable, please let me know if I have to just open the door and put the cable as you have shown in the video or do I have to reset the coil also for that side also? is the coil still having tension in it or it get released once the wire got broken?

So I have to replace my two bottom panels and just wanted to know if I bring the garage door up like how you have it and remove the wire as seen, will it chop my fingers, etc… off since the tension spring is still hot? Thanks.

Same here. $550 for the springd, and another $125 for the cables. Then we noticed cracked hinges. Aaaand he wanted to replace those at $25ea. I got him down to $350 for the springs and let him do it since it wouldn't open and we needed it. Then I bought heavy duty cables, hinges, and rollers for $110 on Amazon. Came out way ahead.
