Tools needed

Phillips Head screw driver or Torx bit. Depends what model year OHC you have
Flat blade screw driver
Exact O Knife/Razor Bade


Step 1:
Unplug the plug on the screen unit:




Step 2:
Remove the 8 screws that are circled in red using your Phillips screw driver. On the '98+ units, they are held in using Torx screws.



Step 3:
Open up your Garage Door opener door/tissue holder



Step 4:
Release the 2 tabs




Step 5:
Remove top cover from the base. May have to wiggle and gently pry it off.






Step 6:
Remove computer and lights



Step 7:
Flip Over to release the wire harness connection





Step 8:
Now to take out the garage door button. Press the metal rod at one end to unhook it from the holder




Step 9:
Wiggle the button out through the back



Step 10:
Remove metal clip that is by the removed lid




Step 11:
You should now have something that looks like this. There should be no buttons or metal clips on the housing.



Step 12:
Mask off the garage door opener holding area. Use the Exact O knife or razor blade to make the corners nice and tight



Step 13:
When you paint you can use what ever color you like. I recommend Krylon Fusion paint. Make sure to clean the surface really good. Hang OHC housing up or lay flat on something and paint. Let it sit in the sun for a few hours to properly dry. Once it has dried you can paint the inside of the garage door holder. Just mask off everything but that are.


Step 14:
Reassemble in reverse order

ahh this is confusing how to get it back together

Don't you know how to go backwards?

It usually is the first time you do it. Once you get it done and do it a few times it's nothing.

i cant see how to get the garage door holder/flip thing back on with the other cover part on. what goes on first, the part with the buttons to turn on light or the garage door case?

Garage door case. Just follow the instructions from bottom to top.
