    You do not have to take it apart. See that little about 1/8" hole in the pulley? Find something that will fit through it such as a nail or allen wrench. Now, pull the rope all the way out and stick the nail into the hole. That will catch and prevent re-winding. Now simply grab hold of the rope anchor and pull it and the rope out of the pulley.
