HELP! Road Runner in prison, or any garage door repair guys out there?

Long time ago when my spring broke I put a long piece of angle iron along the bottom of the door so that you don't put too much pressure in one spot. Then I used a long crow bar to get the door off the ground. Once it's off the ground it's a little easier to get a 2 X 4 and a series of bricks or whatever under the door to get it up. But it is very, very heavy!!! A come-a-long can also lift the door from the top.
