-
Close the garage door completely.
-
Slide the garage door opener onto the end of the torsion bar. If the torsion bar is too long or damaged, you may need to cut the torsion bar. Ensure the collar does NOT touch the bearing.
If the replacement shaft collar matches the previous shaft collar, align the garage door opener mounting bracket to the existing holes. Use a level to position and vertically align the garage door opener. Skip to Step 6.
If the replacement shaft collar does NOT match the previous shaft collar, start at Step 3. -
Use a level to position and vertically align the garage door opener. Verify the mounting bracket is located on a solid surface such as wood, concrete or door/flag bracket. If installing on drywall, the mounting bracket MUST be attached to a stud.

When the garage door opener is properly aligned, mark the mounting bracket holes. If necessary, lightly tighten collar screws on the torsion bar to hold garage door opener in place while marking holes.
NOTE: The garage door opener does not have to be flush to wall. -
Remove the garage door opener from torsion bar. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes at the marked locations. Drill through metal door rail plates if necessary.
