Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First, I wanted to offer compliments to other reviewers that described the symptoms of the gears being bad - the "snow", the stop-and-starts, the stop working altogether but can still hear the motor running - nailed it exactly. Very clear to me after reading those that this was exactly the product I needed. It is exactly what it says it is - an OEM Liftmaster gear replacement assembly. The directions that come with it are excellent - step-by-step, and it explains exactly what you need to do. The directions are the best part of this product - if they were not so well done, it would be impossible.
No knock against the product, but installation was considerably more work than I expected. I had visions of undoing a couple of screws, popping out a gear, putting in the new ones, and being done - boy, I couldn't have been more wrong. The process can best be summarized as "take your garage door opener completely apart, removing all pieces, wires, etc. Around 30 to 50 screws, wires and pieces to remove. Replace gears. Re-assemble." Very important to ziplock and label all pieces and screws as you go, label the disconnected wires with masking tape so you keep everything straight.
With practically no re-work or mess-ups, it took me every bit of 4 hours for the fix. Was starting to wonder if this was the best way to spend my Saturday afternoon or if I just should have bought a whole new opener.....of course, would have had to install that too. That said though, the product works exactly as promised, and the directions are great.
Also kudos to Amazon seller "Sanford and Son" - I ordered it Monday night, was in in mailbox on Friday, in time for the weekend project.
