Questions & Answers
One bearing and two springs were all I needed for my setup.
Yes. On 2" OD springs, I installed this. (The ID, or center, is about 1 inch in diameter.) 75) I greased the outside and inside of the bearing with lithium grease, and it fit perfectly into the spring's center. One is all that is required. You don't need to buy one every spring. Cheap nylon/plastic bearings don't last as long and don't work as smoothly.
It is determined by the type of door that you have. End brackets with bearings that are captured and cannot be removed are installed on my door. I'm not a door installer, so this is just my opinion.
Yes, I believe a two-inch ID is standard.

Because the garage door spring had broken, I decided to replace the freeway and outer bearings at the same time. The old spring-loaded freeway bearing was made of cheap black plastic. This worked out perfectly and was easy to incorporate into the end of the spring season. This bearing happened to be made by the same company as the two old end bearings that are press-fit into the flanges. A 2x4 piece of wood and some C-shaped nails were used. It worked perfectly using clamps to remove the old one and then press fit the new one into the flange. I didn't even have to remove the flanges from the walls, so there was no need to worry about alignment. Make sure to lubricate the rod with axle grease to prevent the bearing's inner part from cutting through the thin walled tube over time.
If you need to replace your torsion springs, they will almost certainly come with a plastic bushing. That bushing will probably do the job and last a long time, but this one is far superior. This is made of metal and contains bearings to ensure that the spring rotates smoothly. You don't have to have it, but it's a great addition if you want to do a high-quality repair.
Much more reliable than the cheap nylon bushings that are commonly used. This will take the place of the nylon bushing, which is only recommended for garage door openings with 10,000 revolutions. If you're replacing your torsion springs, this is a great way to save money. It is suggested that you watch some YouTube videos on torsion spring replacements.
For a small investment, you could potentially double the life of your garage door springs. If you're replacing your springs, I'd recommend using this rather than the plastic one that came with them.
Although the existing 15-year-old plastic bushing appeared to be in good condition and showed no signs of impending failure, I decided to replace it with this bearing while I was replacing my torsion springs.
5=3, couldn't do it in place, so I had to remove the bracket, then take out the old bearing and replace it on the work bench, before reinstalling the bracket above the door. However, it works perfectly:.
It replaced the black plastic bushing on a 1" OD bar and worked perfectly. Get a pair of pliers and start digging. When a spring needs to be replaced, this is what you do. It's a lot less expensive than what you'd pay in your hometown.
I needed to replace one on my garage door that had failed, and it was simple to install and operate.
