Set up really good staging.Do not attempt with a ladder,I believe this is when most get hit as you are always beneath the pins used to turn.The kits shown have two pry bars.You need a spare as when one drops and you are left holding tension it is a trap if on a ladder.It takes a bit of common sense but I have done quite a few here.When a door system goes to heck it is never sunny and 68 degrees.Zero out or less more common.You need it then not in a few days.Count your winding turns,if one side goes crooked it can be the opposite side pulling to much .Keep your fingers out of the end cable pulley.Some we are able to release cable pulley when winding.Then adjusting its position near end of winding ,taking up the slack,be very aware as the tension is like a loaded bear trap.Once again a really great platform is the only way to get up there and adjust springs.
