I say yes! You nailed it! Exactly the same thing has just been done with it.
A bronze bushing is actually used in this application A bearing is not involved. In addition, it's self lubricating, so when it's used to tighten a bolt, it makes it easier for it to spin freely in place. As a garage door mechanism, it will be stronger than a bearing but is not as effective as a bearing.

After that, I heard a loud snapping noise one cold day in December when I tried to open the garage door. I realized it's a plastic sheave at the end of the shaft around which the 1/4" steel cable wraps. Since plastic was going to break again, I looked for a solid metal replacement over a prolonged period of time. It's what I ended up choosing and decided to take a chance on. fits perfectly, works perfectly, and I was able to install it myself in just five It seems that I am not alone in my search, so if you're one of us who were shocked to learn the original Chamberlain part is plastic, and don't want to spend $20 on the same thing, do yourself a.
Fortunately, the bottom of the bracket fit perfectly, though I did place a large washer on the bottom to raise it a bit so that it is in line with the cable that runs.
I like the way it is My garage door opener is now equipped with this metal pulley, instead of the plastic It should continue to function long after I have passed away. It is worth investing your time into fixing something if it is going to last. The pulley is well made. The cable is designed for 1/4" cables, but the smaller 3/8" cable worked fine as well.
The plastic pulley replaced in a chamberlain garage door opener worked perfectly.
Great buy, because we were buying the plastic pulleys and they were always breaking. So far, the steel pulley has held up quite well, and now our garage door's chain spreader has broken, but not the plastic It's a great product for garage door openers of all kinds.
The pulley was replaced with this after a plastic pulley broke. There is a lot of value in it.
Put the new one in place of the old plastic one and it's been working great ever.
All measurements are in line with expectations. I was able to replace a plastic pulley on my garage door using this device.
