DIY Repair of my Liftmaster gate opener
My LA400 gate opener was having difficulty opening my gate. It was starting and stopping when opening, and making sounds like gears were being jumped. I removed it and opened the case. I saw that a lot of the white grease had turned black, like metal/plastic gear bits were mixed in. I ordered the Spare Release Shaft, installed it, and now the opener works perfectly. No jumping and it is very quiet again. This $40 part saved me a minimum of $400.
