How to reset garage cable back into groove wheel?

[bawbster]

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.

So watched a few videos and they say lock with mole grips but with different doors to mine, then seen this video

with same make (no windows on mine though) with same spring and cog layout. Guy in the video doesn't use mole grips to secure it though. Will give it a go in a few weeks when i'm off for a few days, don't have mole grips but is it worth purchasing them to help with it even though this guy doesn't use them?

I don't know.
I did watch a bit and looks easy enough.
Just get stuck in and you will learn as you go. Save a packet as they say...
Mole grips are cheap and always worth having a pair if you are doing DIY.

If you move the door slowly and completely to the other position does it unwind the cable enough to take out the misalignment ? Can you post a video?

Can you take a longer shot of the bar leading into the pulley (to ascertain whether there are any sprocket holes as per the video example and/or nut for spanner connection) if so we can take it from there? If not then its a case of mole grips and lap of Gods
