My Fix - 2020-0620 - Garage Door Trolley Replacement

I noticed one day that the garage door could only open two feet then it stuck. Got in from the side door and noticed the inner slide of the T-Rail was totally ripped as below.

Got on eBay and placed a quick order of Liftmaster 41A3489 carriage trolley assembly. A few days later, the parts came with following pieces.

Found a Saturday and went through following steps:
  1. Open the garage door and keep it open. Took a 2x4 to block the door from falling
  2. Pull down the manual release rope and remove the lock wire and the pin to detach trolley and garage door.
  3. Mark on the tension screw to assure that I can tight the screen to restore the original tension of the chain.
  4. Loose and Remove the tension screw
  5. Remove the link clip-on spring and the link cap to disconnect the chain
  6. Remove the stopping screw and detach the T-Rail from the garage door opener
  7. Very gently lift the loose end of the T-Rail to slide the broken trolley out
  8. Slide the new trolley back in
  9. Reverse previous steps to tights all the screws
  10. Remove the 2x4
  11. Worked!
Step 1: 2x4 to block the falling door
 
Step 2: Disengage door
Step 3/4/5: Release the tension and chain spring clip
 
Step 6: Stopping screw and detach door opener
Step 7: Slide trolley out
 
Step 11: Completion

The torn piece

This is a super easy job. It took me about an hour to compete the tested to assure the whole thing worked. Well, there is small difference. By comparing picture of step 3/4/5 and step 10, I noticed the washer got changed from the right side to the left!

My Visit - Cancun (II)

上一篇 第一天

第二天

早上起来嗓子疼似乎有些加重, 但仍然无大碍. 可能昨天奔波太多. 但晚上睡得还好. 正要开门出去, 看到地上有什么在爬, 蹲下看仔细. 两根长须, 两条尾巴, 看起来是蛐蛐, 然而又不象, 两只腿不够健壮. 两条尾巴也显短, 是蟑螂吗? 赶快拿相机照下来, 虽不够清楚, 当证据够了. 大家过来一看: 无论如何也要还房间. 昨晚没爬到床上吗?! 不敢往下想......

外面阳光明媚, 刚才的不快马上烟消云散. 反正还早, 先到处走走.

就在游泳池边上的墨西哥餐厅吃早餐吧.早餐也是自助式的, 种类繁多, 但都是见过的. 鸡蛋, 面包自不必说, 香肠火腿烤饼也都样式齐全. 水果和果汁真是新鲜.
曾经也惶惶过
先嚐嚐这些

再去看看能不能换房间, 顺变定一下晚餐的餐厅和明后两天的活动. 一问才知道, 今晚所有餐厅早几个时间段都满了. 只有碰运气的资格了. 但是..但是, 我们可以定明天或后天的. 意大利餐厅是最新的, 小一点. 而且只有6:30的时段是可以对孩子开放的. 位子是很紧俏的. 又值这个星期是美国很多州的学校是假期. 海鲜餐厅也属于群众向往的地方. 地中海餐厅目前只有一个时段还有位子...... 这比做选择题还具有挑战性, 都好, 都想试试. 但一天只能选一个. 一共住四个晚上,昨天今天已经除外了. 明天后天的计划呢, 会不会晚回来呢? 思考, 思考, 怎么办?! 经过大脑这个超级计算机的快速运算, 先把意大利餐厅定下, 定在最后的晚上. 明天早上看看能不能定到海鲜餐厅. 明后两天的活动比较容易. 反正就是花钱参加活动. 定餐厅不是花钱能解决的问题, 所以,那才是费心思的. 时间接近10:00.到前台一问, 房间下午才会有.1:30再来.服务小姐看出我的疑惑,连忙说, 电脑里已经加了提示,房间没问题, 只是手续. 我说那我就有时间再来.

外面阳光灿烂, 蓝天白云, 鲜花绿叶. 游泳池畔传来阵阵喧闹声.

再去吃点儿......

再去坐一下......
椰子树太高, 没法乘凉



好在牛顿当时没坐椰子树下
听着海涛, 吹着海风,看着海浪,喝着Magaritas, 不亦乐呼!


房间换好了. 第三层, 宽敞明亮的两室一厅带厨房, 带阳台, 且面向大海. 这才有度假的意思!

晚上7:00去地中海餐厅碰运气. 向门口的小姐说明我们没有定位, 问是否可以在此用餐. 她看了看表 (上一时段过了半小时), 又看了看名单, 便领我们进去落座. 后来我们发现, 这是等待时间最长的晚餐. 从我们点菜到吃上, 有将近一个半小时! 沙拉不错, 其他不太合胃口. 可能我们点的不对. 中间几次我们都想一走了之. 我觉得我的感冒确有加重的意思. 饭上来后, 大家都只吃了一半. 就起身告辞. 我要回去吃药. 好好睡一觉. 突然觉得很累.

欢迎! 嚐嚐我们的巧克力. 这是趁我们去吃完餐,园方送来的小礼物.
