Cable came off the grooved pulley wheel(?) and the garage hook kicked in to stop it from falling few days ago, managed to close the door until I could get a better look at it, seen that the cable was off tne wheel. Opened the door fully and the cable went back onto the wheel by itself, only thing is, is that the cable doesn't sit into the groove properly. The door opens and close, just a little stiff and you can hear the cable rolling over itself. Want to try and fix it (if its easy enough) incase it wears outthe cable.
Any help on this one?
cheers

I appreciate that this is a diy site, but…

I had an old door do this and did manage to do it myself, although way too long ago to remember. I had an old mate help me. If things go wrong, it goes with a bang.
I would ring a local garage door repair guy. It won’t take long.
 
Can you take the tension out the cable?
You can buy new cables and parts so it should be fixable.
