Garage Door Question of the Week - What Do I Use to Replace a Gear In a Raynor Pilot Opener?

Every week we answer common questions about garage doors and garage door operators that we receive in our mailbag. If you have a question please email us at: Support@GarageDoorZone.com.

Q: I have a Raynor Pilot operator (1265RGD) and the gear is all chewed up. Is there a gear that replaces this one? - Mark

A: Yes there is a replacement gear assembly available. After about 8 - 10 years the plastic gear in the Pilot (and also the Raynor Navigator & Corporal) opener can wear out. If you open the cover of your operator and find small white shavings then it's time to replace the gear. The best thing to do is to replace the whole gear assembly. The 41C4220A Gear Assembly includes the drive gear, worm gear and other parts to replace the whole assembly. Once the new gear assembly is installed put grease on the gear and you should get another 8 - 10 years out of your opener.
