Is that 2 self tappers and 2 wood screws holding those to the door?OK here are the pictures of what I did. What I would do is open the door and pull it back about 8" and insert a foam block to hold it. Then I would pull cables out. Doing it in this position there was a lot less load on the cables and easy to move. I would reverse this when I closed the door. The most tension on the cables are when door is fully opened making it the hardest place to slide cables in or out.

I'd have to look to see what holds the cables to my door but that would scare me. There's a lot of stored energy in that spring up there. Ask me how I know.
I used to use a couple bars to take the tension off my cables and just unpinned them from the door to get them out of the way so I couldn't hit them plus I'd trip over them in the dark after drinking too many beers
