Worn Spring
The springs on your garage
door are what actually lifts the weight of your
door, not your garage door opener as most people
think.
If your springs are worn or
broken, your garage door opener is working extra
hard to lift your door, which will lead to burning
out your door opener.
Do Not Do This !!!!!!
The bottom bracket
which holds the roller (wheel) closest to the floor,
should NEVER be unbolted.
Your springs are attached to
the side of this bracket, and it is under tremendous
tension. When unbolted, it will IMMEDIATELY
shoot towards the ceiling, possibly taking a few of
your fingers with it.
