How do you remove the old roller assembly and install the new Norfolk 84-139 assembly. Want to make sure if plastic breaks , I didn't screw something up.
Thanks Fred

Hi Fred,

Unfortunately, the manufacturer didn't want you to replace these, for whatever reason. They're intended to be a "permanent" installation. That's obviously not realistic, and you can get them out, but it's not possible to do so without damaging it.

Ok, I got them out. This is what to try first.
Do Not use screwdriver to pry the longer side of the plastic. It bends the plastic retaining clip inside the frame. Result is you have to break apart to get out. Use a ice pick or small diameter Phillips screw driver that will fit into the small hole next to roller assembly. It needs to be a little long for leverage. Stick it straight in and then move side ways to ply up on assembly. This pushes the retaining clip towards the roller and releases it. Again something to try before breaking the plastic apart. Another thing I noticed is you can pull the roller itself out, without removing the whole assembly. Use plier and pull straight up. There are 2 small springs inside so be careful. I believe you show the roller in your list of parts. Could be an easier and cheaper fix. Hope this helps .
