@chicagolandhobby Great tip and thank you for commenting!

@ServiceMagicdotcom i think mine has two .. i'm pretty sure that's what the instruction manuel said.

Okay... after further examination, both of you are correct. There absolutely should be a second bolt there. Thanks for the catch!

Yea chicogolandhobby is right and if you still dont beleve us let me know and ill make a vid to prove it to you.

I believe we are. Closely examine the door arm. This is the black bar connecting the door to the opener. There will be two halves to this arm; a straight piece with many holes that connects to the opener, and a curved piece that links to the door. Joining these two should be at least two bolts, and from what I can see, yours only has one. These two should not pivot, only the curved to the door, and the straight to the opener. If the arm moves between the bolt connecting the halves, it is wrong.

Not good to lube track. attracts dust and dirt which then hardens and you've got real problems. just keep it clean. (If the track were in an enclosed space then maybe but it is outdoors - when the door is up - and it's shape is perfect for collecting debris and dirt. Especially when the wind tunnel effect kicks in)

I like the LiftMaster 1245R opener! Here's the thing though, spraying the track is NOT a good idea, because what happens is when wind blows, it will blow dirt/debris in to the tracks, causing a very horrible grinding sound, and if you have steal rollers, they can cause a lot more wear and tear then it needs to. Only the rollers need to be lubricated, and the joint points on the hinges. I don't want to sound like I'm a know-it-all but I've been working with garage door openers for a while.
