Cranked my popup camper all the way up but now it wont come back down. After further inspection of the winch assembly it appears the cable went off track. Not sure what to do at this point? The cable will most likely need to be replaced as it's has some damage now. How do I get it back down with all the tension on the cables?

What Don said. When the tension is off you should be able to unwind the cable, if it’s not jammed between the crank too much.
