New to the forum. Happy Memorial Day everyone!
Here's my puzzle. My garage door tension spring broke a couple of days ago. Cables scrambled, motor probably jerked a couple of times back and forth with very loud noise. I watched youtube and installed new springs and it looks balanced to me (stays if pulled up 1 ft from the ground). And manually I pulled it up and down a couple times, greased, everything seems smooth. Old squeaky noise is gone too.
Now once I hook up the opener (liftmaster 8355, belt drive), it jerks back and forth when closing (especially the first 5 secs), less so on the rest of the trip down and much less noticeable when pulling up. When I climbed up, I can see the spring that connects the belt squeezes and releases when the door jerks. I am pretty sure there is nothing in the track.
I thought it could be the gear/sprocket worn out. Opened the cover only to find it looks clean inside. Took a couple of pictures and a video (when door closing) showing how it sounds (maybe the motor?). Really not sure where I should look next. Maybe the trolley is worn out?
Here's the video.
Please help and thank you all in advance. I thought I avoided a bill from changing the spring but seems there is more headache.
