Help winding window regulator cable

[keithwrx8]

Hi fellas,

I'm trying to replace the sleeve lock on a 92' but the cable was all bound up and now i cant figure out how it goes back on. I put both the cable lugs in place on the wheel so that both cables follow the grooves (on the wheel). But when the wheel turns one way, one cable can't follow the direction of the groove, gets flipped around and makes a mess. And there is also a ton of slack in the cable.

I drew up a diagram just in case



On the left is the cable in the groove. On the right is what happens to one of the cables when you start turning the motor.

Is it possible i have to wind up some cable on the wheel and then insert the lug on the cable into the slot? I can't think of any other way it could possibly work.

I searched too but i didnt get any hits on how to wind the cable. Everyone just replaced the entire regulator assembly. Which id rather not do as everything is in good shape.

Thanks for reading!
