I noticed this time that the cable drum on the left hand side (facing
the door from inside the garage) was touching the bracket and that was
causing the whole problem. I checked both cable drums and they were
rock solid.


It should be possible to unseat the drum set screws and move the drum
to a spot where it doesn't rub against anything. Or else use that
opportunity to remove a bit of material or bend the bracket just
enough not to be in the way of the pulley drum.



One more suggestion. Is it possible to file down the cable drum rim
so that it doesn't bind anymore? Of course make sure there is enough
rim left not to let the cable slip out.
