Hello,

I am looking for replacement rollers for an old V.E. Anderson (not Andersen) aluminum slider.

I'm afraid we will not be able to replace this roller housing. Would you be able to just replace the wheel? You will need to knock out the locking pin to remove the wheel housing and then remove the wheel. Once it's out, let me know its thickness and diameter so we can find a good replacement.

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your quick response. I have removed one of the wheels and it seems to be a composite design? Where two hard nylon outer rings are attached to a steel roller?

I can make out Kilian, Syracuse NY Toronto Can on the side of the nylon portion.

The outside diameter is 1.66
The inner diameter where the wheel rolls on the track is 1.30
The pin diameter is .2465
The thickness of the wheel is .43

The center track the wheel rides on is .209 wide and the channel grooves are .140 wide and .187 deep

See attached pics...

Thanks! Looks like your wheel has worn down to the bearing housing. I believe our 81-237 nylon ball bearing wheel could work for you. Please look it over and see what you think.
