Is there an easy way to re-tension the roller spring on a double car width gliderol door?

I have so much crap in there that I've never even looked at it, but the damned thing is getting heavy!

if its getting heavy then it needs tension maybe 3 turns on the spring. on the left hand of the spring there should be some grub screws that hold the tension but also there should be holes were you can put a screw driver type bar inside two holes if you unduo the grub screws with the screw driver in the hole to hold the tension as you undo when you feel the tension trying to undo itsself then its time to turn the spring upwards 3 turns then lock it off by tighting the grub screws job done.
