Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.

The door balance system on the right side was broken leaving only the left side operational.

The door balance system on the right side was broken leaving only the left side operational.
I replaced one assembly side at a time, starting with the broken side.
The fixed plastic pulley system is held in place with only one screw. I removed that screw.
I installed the new replacement pulley system, and connected the rope to the spring at one end and the door on the other.
Finally, I installed the rope around the pulleys. This was a little bit like changing speeds on a multiple pulley power tool, like a drill press.
That completes one side installation. Follow the same procedure for the other side and you\'re done.
