Broke a spring on the garage door.
It is a belt driven chamberlain and it ate the belt after about 11 years of service. I put a new belt on, after making every possible error I could. Worked fine for a week, then today no worky. The spring on the left side, when facing the house, is in two pieces. Not sure if it was broken before the new belt, coincidence, or I did something when I put the belt on. I don't think it was broken before today because lifting the door without the spring is something I would notice.
I learned how to measure the springs and was going to order the set. .250 x 2 x 32. Anyone done this before and have tips? Anyone know what a professional would cost? There is a lot of tension on those springs, so maybe it will be worth the money for a pro.
