Thanks Know How Know I'm so glad to see more women teaching women like me that we can do repairs and save money. You are awesome ⭐

I like your video edit style. Keeping it simple and zooming in on each part. Instead of wandering around the garage and having a shaky camera and saying ummmmm. Lol pretty good quality, nice repair aswell

The clearly spoken direction was very helpful! Much more confident to fix it myself!

Nice clear video, short but with sufficient detail, thank you for making this and your others.

Agree, clear, easy to follow video that provided the green light for me to go forward. For me though, I found it easier to proceed in the opposite direction. That is, first attach the looped cable end into the door, then run the bare end of the cable through the pulleys. Now attach the bare end through to 3 hole clip and attach the S hook onto the third hole of the clip. Finally, grab the assembly by the S hook and attach it to the door bracket from which it was removed.

I see 4 years have gone by, according to the comments here, but your video is super simple, well explained (pleasantly voiced) and very informative. I'm a 72 year old man and I've waited over a year to fix and replace my broken pulley cable. I considered paying someone; but I took a look at how it works normally and thought, "I bet there's a KZfaq video that will show me exactly what to do!" Then I found yours at the top of the search and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Of course, my door's brackets, cables and general area are quite dirty and full of cobwebs and a bit of rust. My first task is to clean it all up so I can see what I'm doing. LOL! I've already changed the springs and *safety* cables on my other door (double garage) without any issues, so thanks to you, I'll be able to replace this pulley cable relatively easily. Thanks again for a great video. I *liked* it and I'll subscribe to your page, too. :-) thanks, Rick White

Wow, the info in this video is just what I needed to know. I’m replacing my door lift motor for a belt drive, but need to fix the binding lifting cable and damaged pulley bearings first. The right detail without the fluff. Thank you kindly!!!

Great camera spotlight on project. Great ability to JUST DISCUSS HOW-TO, without all the other unnecessary introduction and needless chatter. Guy appeared at my mom’s house trying to charge her $1,700 for the repair and $4,000 for a new door, all she needed was a $8.95 cable for Home Depot!! 😡 I will repair it myself tomorrow, thanks for the tips.

Perfect video, thanks! Not a tough job and the clear step-by-step eliminated any guesswork for me.

Great video!!! My only hold up was I assumed I needed an 8ft cable so when I removed the fray cable I needed the 12ft cable which provided me the little extra I needed. Kept my laptop with me and reviewed each step you offered. All done! Many thanks!

Thank you! I’ve been looking for a clear video on how to do this!!

Good clear video. Helped me a lot. I had to take off the bottom section to straighten it out after an accident with the car. I took the hinges off with the garage door partly down, and they flew up and caught on the next hinge. After straightening the door, I could not get the bottom hinges back on again, because of all the tension. And I couldn't lift the door back up either--too much for my 75-year-old arms. Finally I figured out that I could separate off each of the top three sections, and push them up out of the way one at a time. That allowed me to put the final bottom section into the up position where the tension was off it. Then reattached the hinge and cable as you show. Things went smoothly after that, and it raises and lowers like butter now. Thanks for the informative video. It helped a despairing DYIer get himself out of a jam, without calling for help.

Great How to with very good step by step instructions. Saved me time and money.Thank you.

Nicely done. The springs and pulleys on my door are the same. Very informative and helpful. Thanks!

Very helpful for my situation. Thanks !

One of the best vids i have seen on this. Attention to detail very important in this face paced world...nice job

Very good video. The best I've found on this type of garage door.

Thank you for the video. I almost paid someone to do it for me but your video made it super simple!

Good video. If the cable you're replacing is already broken it complicates measuring the old cable to get the correct length. I found that getting the broken cable detached from the bottom of my door to be much more difficult as the original loop wasn't large enough to get it over the stud on the bottom bracket and had to cut the loop to get it off.

Loved the attention to detail, the steady pace and camera, no steps missed, and no time wasted on any step. [+Subscribed]

Nice work.

great video thank you

Thank you! I just fixed mine in about a half hour... and the men said I couldn’t do it! Lol

Thanks

Excellent video, thank you.

She did the best description I always responded better to female teachers.

Great video. It looks fairly simple. The only issue I ran into is in getting the correct cable. Bix box stores only carry the cable extension cord which is not the same as the door cable. Any thoughts or suggestions.

About to do this on the job but there's only enough room on both sides of door for me to get one hand up there so ile be having fun in a few hours

Saw this and follwed until the end. Very good video. Do you have one for the safety cable as well? It seems pretty straight forward but seeing the great job here, I thought maybe you had a simple way to remove and reinstall the safety cable.

Great video. Do you think that if one cable breaks you should replace both cables at the same time?

hi! So that knot you made at 04:23 - that's good enough for it to hold? The current cable I had that broke had the loop at both ends, granted it was over 10 years old. All the new ones I see do not have the loop at both ends, but it does have that 3-holed metal connector. Is that black tape at the end? thanks in advance...

I changed my cable . Great video . The only problem that I’m having is the door doesn’t close completely. Any suggestions? Thanks

These ones must be an ancient set up, mine does not use springs just cable working off a center tension spring that winds the cable when lifting door.

I need me a wife like this. One that knows how to get the job done. This is a real mans woman.

I am repairing an extension cable setup where it appears the original installer did not set things up correctly. When closed, the extension spring is stretched over 70" and all of the extension springs I have seen are supposed to be a maximum of 67" at full extension. Adjusting by attached the spring lower on the bracket hasnt helped since at its lowest, it is still stretched 69" and now the pulleys rub on the door. Is there a rule of thumb for how much slack to leave for the clevis pulley?

Did you install safety cables?

My door is too heavy to lift manually

no power, old rope style

Why do you think it's necessary to speak like a robot?

Thanks
