      Thats what i did. Just put the wd40 white lithium on the hinges and then silicone lube on the smaller moving parts and rollers. White lithium looks like shit tho after its smeared all over and tracks and stuff.

    You are not suppose to lubricate the tracks.

    • @kushkaul
      @kushkaul Před 3 lety +9

      That is correct. You only clean the tracks.
      Lubricated tracks will collect dust over time and it'll be a pain to get that off.

    • @johnd4018

      exactly. And how exactly would lubricant "quiet" a wheel that is rolling in the track?? And then he decides at the end of the video that the lubricant is for cleaning the track??? When is the last time you used grease to clean something?? This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

    can’t believe i followed your advice! After some thought, how does lubricating the tracks leave out the squeaks etc; all it does is provide less squeaking from the wheels with the track and my wheels is not metal that would grind either the track to squeal.
    WHAT A WASTE OF LUBRICANT AND TIME. would’ve gotten better advice from the neighborhood street cat.
    Who is this guy???😂😂😂

    Wrong wrong wrong. You don’t lubricate the tracks. All you’re doing is creating an environment where dirt and dust will accumulate and make it harder for the garage door wheels to go over or through. You want a smooth and clean track that your wheels can ride on. So clean your tracks with a degreaser until all that junk from your previous lub, dust, and dirt comes off.

      @@CrazyxxxUkraine ive done both, and just cleaning the tracks was 10x better. It made it easier for the wheels to roll on it without having to go through all the muck that the lubrican collects. It also made it easier for the motor as well. Good luck with it.

    Previous owner lubricated tracks with what looks like 10w40 oil. My question is whether to leave it or clean it out? I presume the latter.

    NEVER lubricate the tracks. They should only be clean, not lubricated. The metal hinges should be lubricated.
