Hi there really hope you can help me out.
I need to purchase this roller but can't seem to find it anywhere. Please let me know how much it would cost. I hope the pics & drawing help identify it... the only marking is 138-R.

Great site BTW

Regards,
Joe

Hey, Joe. Thank you! I think you should consider our 81-090 roller assembly. Please note that our wheel is a 1-1/8" steel ball bearing wheel. There shouldn't be a problem with that, except you might have to adjust the wheel up slightly. If you want the 1-1/4" nylon wheel, you will also need the 81-228 wheel and 81-304 axle install on the 81-090.

You should be able to reuse your housing and axle with new 81-228. If any of the axles have worn into the housing, the housing will probably need replacing.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your help in identifying a replacement for my roller. I see there are options to assemble what I currently use but I'm a bit confused. When you say use nylon roller 81-228 with axle 81-090 do I order it with those specs & you guys put it together or do I order the parts separately and I put it together? If I need to assemble it do you have instructions as how to remove the axles? as it stands right now the axle is axles are smashed on both sides & I cant remove it. Also, How can I smash it once I reassemble? do I use a hammer or something else. Again, Thanks for all your help!

Thank you again for your patience, Joe. I'm afraid we haven't found an exact match for this roller. The closest we have is our 23-043, We're hoping the flares would help make up for the difference in width. What do you think?

If you remove the adjustment screw the inside part should pivot allowing the axle to slide out the bottom. Tap the axle out. In a pinch, I set the roller on a socket (from a socket wrench) that supports the center of the wheel but allows the axle to fall through. Reverse to put the old axle in a new wheel and the new wheel in the housing.
