Help getting replacement rollers

Question

I'm not even certain if this can be replaced. There appears to be no side screw that would hold the rollers in place. There is a screw on the interior of the door that raises the wheels. However, when I try to lift it out of the track, the wheels continue to descend (just gravity) making the door impossible to lift out of the track. I was hoping that if I could get the rollers detached they would fall out but I can't find anything about sliding doors that don't have a side screw. I also confirmed no plate is covering the side.

Looking at the photo of the side of the patio door, there appears to be a cover. My thinking is that this can be pried off the side of the door to access the screws. It would be very strange for a patio door roller to not have any means of adjustment or removal. Something must be obscuring them.

With that being said, your patio door should still be able to lift out of the track, either from the outside or the inside of the house. Take a look at the related videos below. They may offer some insight as to how you can approach this.

As for the wheels "hanging down," use a chisel or small flat bar to help when removing the door panel. That should help give you the clearance you need.
