Top roller for metal bi-fold door

This looks like what I need to replace, but how do I remove the old one? It appears to have a plastic piece that is glued in place. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I would believe that a top pivot pin would be spring loaded to keep it up into the top track. Is there a part missing from the one in your photo? Do have another pin that has all its parts that we can see? Seeing the track itself would also help. This one really is a head scratcher.

For metal doors, I believe these pins are force-fit. You should be able to gently tap it out with a hemmer, or slide a putty knife under the collar and work the pin out of the door.

I was able to remove the bolt, which looks like a 1/4". It's screwed into a brass nut contraption. I am going to see if I can get a long enough bolt to secure the door in the track.
