Replacing Bosch Dishwasher Door Spring Pulleys

Dishwasher Repair
1

The nylon door spring pulleys/cords on both sides of my dishwasher need to be replaced as the nylon hook that connects to the door hinges snapped on both sides. I got the dishwasher out and the side panels off and I can see the pulleys wedged between the molded plastic bottom frame of the dishwasher and the door hinge plate/lever hinges but I can’t figure how the pulleys come out short of removing the door. Does the door hinge plate/lever hinges/door have to be removed to get the spring pulley cord assemblies out? They sure didn’t make it easy to replace a part that seems to fail quite often. Help! What has to come out to change this part?
