would one of you home repair people give Jack a word or two concerning
his request. Jack posted this is misc.rural and would most likely be
reading or expecting replies in misc.rural..
Jack you might want to subscribe to alt.home.repair to look for replies...

Hi,
With proper tool and door down, start from about 30 turns. and door
should be in neutral state. It should move up/down easy with one hand
push/pull. Hwew one cable snapped during summer(TG, not in winter) and I
went thru replacing cables, rewinding springs, brackets and learned how
to do it.

If you don't know which way to turn the spring, it sounds as if your
knowledge in this type of work is very limited. Add to that, tightening
a coil spring like that can be very dangerous. A good number of people
end up with a bloody door and a trip to the emergency room. I suggest
you hire a pro.

Bingo. If you do not have the correct tools for this you will more
than likely become injured.
