{"product_id":"liftmaster-k144c0056","title":"LiftMaster K144C0056 Square-Rail Idler Pulley — Chain-Drive Openers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe LiftMaster K144C0056 is the square-rail idler-pulley replacement identified for specified LiftMaster and Chamberlain chain-drive garage door openers. It belongs to the rail’s chain\/cable routing arrangement and is separate from the motor’s drive sprocket and internal gear assembly. Select it by the opener and rail type, since a familiar brand or chain-drive description does not establish that every rail uses this pulley. Inspect the original mounting and surrounding cable or chain before replacing a worn pulley so the repair addresses the complete source of noise, drag or poor alignment.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel or selection point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility requirement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecified square-rail chain-drive assemblies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirmK144C0056 in the opener’s applicable parts diagram.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOther rail shapes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDo not infer fit from a similar pulley diameter.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt-drive openers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo blanket belt-drive compatibility established by this listing.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal gear-and-sprocket repairs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent component position and repair scope.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamaged rail mounting or cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires separate evaluation; a new pulley does not restore damaged supports.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInspect the Rail Mounting and Drive Path Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pulley that is noisy or does not turn freely can be accompanied by worn mounting hardware, cable damage or incorrect tension.

Excessive tension is not a remedy for a worn cable or loose support, and a new idler cannot correct a bent rail.
