> Garage Door Issues by Handyman on 02/16/2005

I have a Sears garage door opener which I have had to replace the gear drive and the sprocket shaft on. Since repacing these parts, the chain will only travel about six or eight inches. I have tried to adjust the up and down force and also the up and down limiter, but can not get any more travel out of it. What did I do wrong?
