Ouchzilla! And people thought I was weak for not wanting to install...

...a garage door spring. There are things I'm familiar enough to do, and some things I'll leave to the professionals. Garage door springs are definitely one of the latter...lol

Thankfully the previous owner of my house destroyed the old garage door, so he installed a new one with a new spring. Those are currently ~20 years old now...
