With this kit and a little time, you can repair your garage door opener. March 23, 2008

I was faced with the decision to purchase a new garage door opener for about $230 or repair the existing opener from 1992 which lacks some of today's safety features. Since I don't use this garage door often and I don't have children, I opted to save some cash and do the repair myself. I have no previous experience of doing these types of garage door opener repairs, but as a do-it-yourselfer I figured it was worth the attempt.
The kit came with detailed instructions which broke the process down into 5 main steps each with multiple individual tasks. The instructions were not exact for my opener, but were close enough to get the point. The steps start with removing the motor with the worm, removing the chain stem with the gear, replacing the worm, replacing the gear, and finally reassembling everything. Once the first two steps were completed I brought the parts inside to work on. I had the most trouble removing the tightly set pin to replace the gear. About two hours later, everything was reassembled and the garage door was working like a charm.
For those that want to save time, there is another kit with a complete gear stem for about $11 more. If time is an issue for you, consider the more expensive kit option. However for me, this kit worked well and is at the right price. Ultimately I need to replace my aging Craftsman garage door opener; however I can wait for the right time for me financially speaking.
PROS:
Inexpensive way to extend the life of your garage door opener
Simple enough instructions
CONS:
Using the kit may delay replacing the garage door opener for safety reasons
Time consuming to replace parts
A replacement part - with instructions! January 11, 2007

I saved myself ~$75 in labor charges doing this myself. It's a COMMON issue with Craftsman garage door openers - The main gear set strips out. Mine seemed to have lasted a good 8 years, so I really can't complain. The cost of the gear kit was a lot better than a complete new garage door opener.
My only recommendation with DIY on this, is REMEMBER TO PLUG BACK IN ALL SENSORS!! OOps!
EXCELLENT PRODUCT January 11, 2007

Kit had all the parts my repair required. About one hour of time needed for the repair as I did not need to replace the worm gear, only the main gear. Instructions very good. Easy to access parts needing replacement with a little patience. Saved about $350 as the door repair company said the whole power unit needed to be replaced.
Everything they said it would be!! March 26, 2007

Great product, I recommend this to anyone with a garage door problem, this appears to be the most common problem with doors. All parts were included, instruction sheet was great and easy to use. I'm getting ready to order another one for a spare.
