I looked it up on door open repair and it was right there explained every thing I needed to know, it was very helpful.

The gear kit will come with detailed instructions. It isn't too difficult. A socket set,screwdriver,a punch to remove the roll pin and a vice helps. For added help reassembling, just take a few photos with your camera if needed. If you follow the instructions, and take your time, it's not that bad doing. 30 minutes to an hour, and the parts should be reinstalled.

Best thing I can tell you is get on the sears website and look up the part number. Put that part number in the Amazon search and the correct part will show up. That's what I did. The part number is different from mine but it was the same part. If you need anything else or have more questions let me know! Hope I helped you!

check out youtube for a video on this. you really only need a pair of pliers or a weatherman tool. there is a spring clip around the bellows - this is usually located at the 6-oclock position on the washer. very easy and took me no more than 10 minutes to do. Sadly, this washer has had too many problems and we sent it to the dump. Sears was the biggest pain and would not honor the extended warranty i purchased. In the last year, i had so many problems, that i had to report them to the BBB. Moved on to Samsung, which i heard Sears uses now anyways....

All current models have a plastic gear. The issue is with the poorly made white shaft. Overtime this deforms and causes the gear to not retract. You need the gear to give otherwise it would stay engaged with the throw wheel and damage the engine. To replace this, your going to have to build your won tool. Hope this makes sense to you. If you inspect your old starter you will see the warp in the shaft that keeps the gear from smoothly retracting. The shaft that I am referring to is the white plastic shaft that the gear travels on.

It's been a while since I installed mine, but I remember wondering about that and deciding that the plastic was interchangeable. I would say the probability is about 90% that you can just swap out the plastic with the new one. I am seldom 100% certain about anything :-)

Not really sure, if you contact sears online via their parts area, there is an option to chat with an associate. They will try to sell you the part, I just got all the answers I needed and then closed the window. LOL

This looks exactly like the kit I purchased from Amazon for my Sears garage door opener. I also own a Chamberlain opener. The mechanicals look exactly the same relative to the 2 all importantgears in the kit. Suggestion...lube the gears with a proper lubricant on a regular basis.

My Liftmasters were installed in 1992 and I have 3 of them. I take care of them when things go wrong. These gears seem to be the ones that get chewed up. I think these should fit most of the garage door openers. I bought the 2 pack so I have one the next time a gear gets chewed up again.

Searching on Google for--GTDX200EM1WW--I was directed to:http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/ge-parts/dryer-parts/model-gtdx200em1ww/0432/0151200Part # 100 is part you are asking about, there is also a substitution.While you have the cover off, you might consider disconnecting the buzzer--part # 12--if it bothers you the way mine bothered me.Good luck!

No instructions included and If you have a double pulley unit I'd change them both simple to do on a Craftsman like the one I repaired just drop the blade deck and I think a 9/16 end wrench and ratchet and 9/16th socket was all needed .. After the deck is removed I'd also replace the belt at the same time ..

Honestly I don't know......I have an old system w 3 doors......and 3 openers w one missing...they were single button......I called the tech support in my 1998 manual....chamberlain recommended it....man they were right on....they also emailed a repair manual to replace gears in opener....free....they're prices were a bit higher but she told me to go to Amazon and order for a better deal......you can't get better customer service than that! I hope this helps.Brian

The kit is for openers made after 1984. It worked for my 1996 Sears opener. Look at the front and back of opener for model number and date. Also, you can remove the cover and look at your gears. You can enter your model number and see if the kit is for your opener. I hope this helps you.

It was extremely easy. Just hold the blades with a wrench or wrap them up in a towel, and turn the rubber gear clockwise with a pair of pliers or a pipe wrench. Once they are loosened you should be able to take the gear off with your hands.

Sorry, don't know. Changing out the pump is very easy it just pulls apart. Fits together with a little gentle force.The actual plastic pump is not designed to be disassembled. Interchanging -- at least for my model simply pulls out of the metal head and the new pump presses in place. Done. Hope this helps.

Hi , it's been about 6 months since I did the gear assembly replacement , so it's not fresh in my memory.I don't know what #41A315-7D or #41A1-7D stand for , or what they are.All I can say is switching the gear assem. was a simple job . The only parts I usrd out of the kit was the gear set & lube. I probably didn't need to replace the screw gear, but as long as I had it , I did so. Go to youtube & watch the videos of the garage door gear replacement . That should answer most your questions .

The switch has on each side plastic arms. To remove you need to depress the arms on each side. When replace with the new one, you just push it in, and it will snap in.
