Anyone ever replace a garage door opener?
Hoopz:
I put a new opener up in my first house. Took more than a few hours.... ::)
I replaced one a year or two ago. It took about 90 minutes or so and was fairly easy to do. The instructions are fairly clear. Just follow them in order. ;D
boykster:
Do your homework ahead of time too:
How it mounts to the door (swing arm, etc)
How far is the setback for the opener (teh belt drive we have had a longer throw than the chain one it replaced)
etc
I LOVE the whisper belt drive one that we have (dont' remember brand) its super quiet. Its been years since I replaced an opener (had this one installed with a new garage door) but its not that complicated of a project.

Good point! I wouldn't have thought of that. I hope it doesn't need to be moved. I don't want to peel off the insulation if I don't have to. Thanks.

Peeling back insulation sucks. I had to rip down and toss a bunch of it after the water leak I had. Soaked, decades old pink insulation. Unpleasant.

Well, this is just the sheets that are about 1" thick but it is glued to the sheet rock and it sucks to peel off. It doesn't come easily.
