I had a back yard mechanic tighten it last week so the twists and turns I know. he tightened it up by about 1.5 inches - prob enough to finish it off..!!! After the cable jumped its rollers, it actually snapped when I yanked the door open. do you suppose I could buy a piece of this and just have my back yard mechanic fix it again? he has evidently worked on this sort of thing before. he and his son were pretty good at figuring the whole thing out. my old cable was plastic coated I should probably use the same stuff again. thanks w. you da bomb !!

Besides the 3/32 cable that cost about 8-12 dollars, you have to know how it winds around the takeup reel and idler arm. Then there may be 2 yokes and 2 stops that have to be crimped, once the cable is in place. Happy, Happy New Year! W In a message dated 12/31/2007 4:23:09 P.M.
