[@sirthames]

Best one I've seen so far. Thanks

[@jameswall007]

Nailed it. Thank you!

[@aplangefeld]

Thanks for talking about the gear.

[@steamboater]

Worked perfectly, thanks!

[@QSKDESTROYER]

If your gear is forward and the shavings are there what’s the fix for that? Thanks in advance!

Replace the gear or the opener

[@JeffHochberg]

I was wondering exactly the same thing. My thought process was that if the gear is moving forward because of tension, stress, age…the axle that it’s connected to is probably bent. You could try to bend it back, but it will never be the way it was from the manufacturer and will weaken the metal. It sounds like replacing the opener is really the only solution if it’s not just a loose chain.

@@JeffHochberg you can change the gear itself as well

[@JeffHochberg]

@@GarageDoorGuidance ok I was wondering if that was the case. My garage door opener is about 20 years old but it’s a Raynor which I think is a pretty popular brand (or was). It’s what the builder used - not what I would have picked- lol). Thanks!!!

@@JeffHochberg at 20 years I would probably say a replacement is a better idea but yeah it’s fixable 👍🏼
