Hello,

Unfortunately, the manufacturer of your die-cast roller assembly is no longer in business. In this case, we suggest removing the sliding glass door from the track and, using a sawhorse, carefully lay the door flat. Remove the two bottom frame screws and carefully remove the bottom rail from the glass with a block of wood and hammer. Remove the other old roller from the frame and line up the new roller's top screw hole. See the diagram associated with the 81-023 roller below. Thanks for posting!
