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

Take it from a soon to be retired mechanical engineer with many years of home repair experience - this is a high quality, exact replacement kit at about half the price of what you would pay for it through Sears. The instructions are clear and the installation is straight forward. The most difficult part of the installation is driving out the roll pin to remove the large worn gear.
Great product! May 5, 2008

The price for this gear kit was very good compared to other websites that have it for sale. It only took about an hour to replace this gear, and it is working very well. Beats hiring a service person to fix the garage door opener!
Great product! June 3, 2008
