Mirrored closet sliding door - Broken clips

Home Owner from Crestwood Illinois
Each of the doors have a broken plastic clip on the bottom,  so part of each door doesn't actually sit into the bottom track. 
I can't figure out how to get the clips out, or to get replacement clips to get them back into the track.  Any assistance you can provide on how I can replace these is appreciated. 
Thanks!

Thanks for posting. This looks like either the 23-026 or 23-215 Bottom Guide. Compare both with your old guide to see what matches best.

As far as removal and replacement: You want to remove the door from the closet and place it on a stable surface, like a table or a pair of saw horses. Then you'll need to work the old rollers out with a pair of needle nose pliers. They're probably hooked into slots. There's no trick or secret to this, you just need to get a good grip on them and work them out as best as you can. This is where most people get tripped up, since the hooks can be difficult to dislodge, but you'll have to try your best.

Once the old guides are out, you hook the new rollers in the same way. When you put the closet door back in, you put the bottom roller in first then lean the door up and put the top roller in the track.

Let me know if you have any questions.
