Update. Seriously, just a tap with a hammer and I had the clearance. Threw a rag over this side. Save yourself some excessive work by doing this. You can take a pair of pliers and bend it back the 2mm you needed if it's gonna bug you.
So easy, so fast.? Took me 1/2 hr to do one. Including removing the tire and jacking it up ?

Buy a dremel.

Any tool you think you may need, a dremel can do it.

Need to change a tire but no tire iron, but have a dremel? It can be done.
Well, I bought a sawzall,(p.o.s. did nothing in trying to cut them)and a new pneumatic gun, to get my tires off. Definitely need another roll away. And now a Dremel.? I'll pick knew up when I buy a new box.

Burn the house down.
Claim the insurance.
Build a new garage with room for cot.:idea:
Your answer is better, but I was going to say

Put the vehicle in park
Kill the engine
Go to your tool box and get the proper tools.
disassemble the garage door and lay It to the side
Pull truck back into garage
Repeat above steps for exiting and entering from now on........................easy

Bonus Pro tip: Keep the tools you need by the door in a bag or something.

Repair guy - now you’re speaking my language.

If it‘s the opener that’s causing the issue, there should be a pull handle to disengage the slider from the track so you can open the door all the way.

Strictly a hypothetical situation. I have a brand new door and opener lol just wondering if anyone would get out a sledge and a Sawzall and rework the opening ?

After seeing some of things folks on here do trying to remove crash bars, I think those just might be their go-to tools of choice. ?
