Probably the best “how to” video I have ever watched. No annoying music. Great attention to detail and camera work. No nonsense. Just pure rational help. Thank you.

@hunter02911 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I wound up just ordering the whole piece with the gears already installed. You did a great job explaining the process and it was easier then i thought and saved me some money not having to replace the whole unit, thanks again

@thelittlegreentractor3910 4 года назад

Just had this happen to me a few weeks ago! It looks intimidating when you see all the shredded pieces. I ended up replacing the whole unit and also the trolley. The door was catching and making it stop halfway up. Everything was about 15 years old. Lasted a good while. Great video!

@57veepee Год назад

Just wanted to give a big huge shout out to you for your help. I followed your instructions. They where absolutely spot on. Just one minor screw up, but got the task done. Now my wife thinks I’m a rock star 😀 Thank you so much 👏🏾👍🏾

@macsterguy 4 года назад

Nice job Shannon. I’ve done this three times over my life. The first time around RU-vid wasn’t a thing yet so I just figured it out. You make it much easier for people today

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

That is awesome!

@brynacorcoran Год назад

This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen on RU-vid. We almost went down the path of buying an entirely new garage opener, only to discover that this is our exact problem, and all we need is a $20 part?! (which we'll be buying through your amazon link). Every step Shannon shares are SO helpful, well explained, and filmed perfectly. Just subscribed for more.

@mixalis11111 2 года назад

Great video and excellent demonstration. Great, likeable person and very easy to follow his thoughts & procedures. Helped me check mine although it was the belt that worn out (21 yrs of use). Enjoyed your video and learned a lot. Many Thanks!

@Nickvec 4 года назад

I put out info to my neighbors on Nextdoor App about how to replace the capacitor in one of these and the responses were "Why didn't you just call a repair guy?" My response, " I didn't want the whole motor replaced for $300!' I think people were a little pissed I had repaired it on my own!!! SMH!

@RocketCityTech 4 года назад

@@Nickvec the pissed people had probably just spent $1,300 for a new opener and installation haha! Doh!

I am glad that I watched My problem is the gear that rotate the chain or the gear that chain pull the door is bookends. I do I take apart and we’re canIbuy it.thank you Antonio

Absolutely the best `how-to' video I've seen. Perfect explanation throughout in both steady camera angles and words on every detail. of the repair. Thank you.

@jamesstalker8518 Год назад

I had just this very problem here in Scotland in the run up to Christmas - great 🤬! My lifter dates back to 1993, so was thinking I'd have to buy a whole new unit. Fortunately, I found your video and a spare parts kit, and managed to fix the problem within days. Great video - thank you so much!👍😊

@DirtySanchez1973 2 года назад

Some people don't have the aptitude for DIY. They think everything is too complicated and need to let a "pro" handle it. Shannon makes incredible videos and gives the average DIYer confidence to tackle projects on their own. I think the one thing that set's Shannon's videos apart from other RU-vidrs is that he shows the whole process no matter how insignificant it may seem. I'm about ready to close on my house and needs some work so I am incredibly happy to have these videos for reference. Keep up the great work Shannon!

@I-sed-no 2 года назад

Cool story bro

@theodorep9569 Год назад

Well, easy in appearance, he also knows all the steps many people take this on and spend substantially more time and effort my time, and my effort are worth more than it would cost to call in a garage door tech for a semi complicated change like this not saying I couldn’t do it, but I’d rather use my time to do something better

@yahshua1110 2 года назад

Great video quality and instructions. After watching though, I can see why some would want to buy the entire kit to skip all the trouble of putting the gear on the shaft.

Dear Content Creator, Thank you for making this video. This morning, I tackled replacing the drive gear in my garage door opener for the first time. And because of this content, I was successful. In my professional life, I study environmental impacts of various products and processes. Generating waste from materials is a huge contributor to negative land transformations and pollutants going into our soil and waterways. Because of these types of videos, people can repair instead of replace saving money and environmental impacts. Thank you!

@insomniacshotrods 2 года назад

Hey thanks, had a bad morning and after adjusting the door stop not to hit so hard, it finally got too low to get the car out, so thought id adjust it up farther. Got it almost perfect but though just a tad farther. Well that little adjustment sheared off the plastic gear just my luck of course. Thanks so much for the info, was able to take it apart and order the correct part with your link. Made a bad day better thanks so much.

Great video. Exactly what happened with my 23 year old Craftsman 1/2 hp garage door opener. I have the new gear on order ($10 on amazon). Will be back in business shortly. Video was excellent and extremely helpful. Part arrived today (Monday Jan 2)and installed easily. Piece of cake thanks to this video. $10 gear on Amazon. A penny saved…. Thanks again for the great video. Spot on.

Are they all the same? Do you have a link of the one you purchased?

@kdog8203 Год назад

When I came across this video I was not sure if the problem I had was the one the video referenced. I had to laugh when I opened up the bottom panel of the garage door opener and it was filled with the white shavings from the gear just like in the video! Every detail was right on point. Thank you for saving us from buying a new opener with this simple fix!

@conesta70 Год назад

Super helpful, got my new gear today. Great step by step video 👍.

@rtel123 2 года назад

Thanks for the starting tips! Could not lift out the shaft because it is too close to the ceiling. Would have had to drop the whole assembly. Then figured out an easier way. Set door shut. The motor is held with 4 easy screws. Dropped it down and had access to the gear. Drilled away the gear material around the pin and with a c-clamp and an old nut as spacer drove out the pin. Used the clamp to push the pin back in, but had to use the worn gear mounted just below the new one to create a wide enough prying surface for the c-clamp. Nice because you do not touch the chain and you do not disturb the timing.

@jimkerr2801 Год назад

@dustintravis8791 2 года назад

I removed the housing earlier and the drive gear was indeed worn out. Part ordered and will be here tomorrow. The only thing getting in the way now is that damn pin...I gave it a few good twhacks but it didn't want to budge. I'll give it a little more force tomorrow when push comes to shove 😅.Thank you for your super helpful video!

@curthall4096 2 года назад

Great Video, Just had this problem last night, took the opener apart, the gear looked the same as yours! Ordered a new gear and will install it when it comes in. My opener is Belt driven and cracked, so I'll need to replace that also. Thanks

I had seen I had the same problem before watching your video, but wasn't sure how big of a job it would be to change it. I pretty much had it figured out, but your video was excellent for a reference. My gear was $13.98, (which was gear plus shipping) from Amazon. Hey, at least you got a little grease with yours! There was none with mine. I'll go purchase some lithium grease, and fix it today. Thanks for your video, was very good and informative!!

@dennis5821 2 года назад

Thanks for the truly excellent video. It's important to check what type of gear one has. I have a very old Overhead Door opener that has a square hole in the center of the gear. Apparently some Genie doors also have it. They are on the same page on the link above. Just save some annoyance and check before ordering. I almost ordered the wrong one.

@tc96z1 Год назад

I sub’d and ❤got what I needed from your video. I wouldn’t even have taken the motor down had I found your channel first. I made a wooden cradle to rest the shaft horizontal to drive the roll pin out to replace the gear and tapered one end of the roll pin slightly on my grinder for easier reinstall. The door opener was probably never adjusted properly because once it stopped raising up I realized the carrier was slamming against the stop bolt and sheared the gear collar almost completely off on one side. Much thanks ❤. I found my part at The ROP Shop on eBay for under $8 with free shipping.
