He sorta forgot to mention, after I sent him a photo of the door and opener, that his shop doesn't service my brand of opener.

Greased the runner. Didn't help.

Actually, if I were certain it were the source of the problem, I'd probably just replace the gear set. It's a couple of hundred bucks plus half of day of work (or $400 and change to have it installed), vs $20 tops. And, what, an hour of work? Maybe I'll take the cover off and see if I can...
