Clay C Chapel Hill , NC October 15, 2014 Door cable broken At first it seems that the pulley can't be removed to make this repair. However,after removing the screw that holds the pulley in place, if you take a small screwdriver and tap the center of the pulley bracket with a hammer it comes out from behind and will go back in with hand pressure after repair. 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
