Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought an older house last year, and like many other things around here, both of our pre-1993 craftsman garage door openers failed after a tough new england winter. i pulled the cover off the units and found small white plastic shavings. the drive gear had been shredded by the worm drive, most likely b/c it was never greased.
an online search pointed me to a sears repair kit (available online only for almost $70) which looked like it included the gear, and the shaft it is attached to, (along w many other parts) but sears does not sell only the gear itself. further searching led me to this product.
it replaced the worn gear, and fit perfectly. took all of 1/2 an hour to get both doors functioning smoothly again.
while the sears kit comes w grease, this gear does not, but it is an easy find at any home store (around 3 bucks). just make sure to get a paste that can be used on plastics, not a spray grease (wd40 or others) and reapply annually.
in short, this gear was exactly what i needed for $4 a pop. w/o all the extras in the sears repair kit, it saved me about $140.
thank you internet research!

Do you hear your Chamberlain motor running but the chain is not lifting your door? It's probably your gear. To verify, remove cover off of motor head and and you see white shavings, the gear is your problem. You must apply a low temp lithium grease to each tooth of the new gear or it will shred within days.
