Can you replace nylon wheels with steel wheels?

Handy Person from Palm Bay, Florida, USA
The nylon wheels on my sliding door have worn out leaving BB's in the track. One side I removed the nylon wheel is worn around the bearing area. The assembly for this door is Product code 81-133 for an Alcan/Norandex brand. My question is would it be feasible to replace the nylon wheels and axles with product code 81-225 (1 1/2" steel wheel) and product code 81-203(7/8" axle)? The door is only 4 years and has not been used constantly.

The 81-133 roller is riveted in the wheel housing, so I could not try to replace the roller with an axle.
