With the belt tensioned, attach the entire rail assembly to the garage door opener motor head. Use a power drill or wrench to securely fasten the two bolts that connect the motor head to the rail. Finally, install the belt cap on top of the garage door opener motor head sprocket. The assembled garage door opener can then be propped up in the garage using angle brackets or L-brackets, ensuring it is centered on the garage door's center stile for proper leverage when opening and closing the door.
