I currently have a door like this that is made by Stanley and is between the bathroom and laundry room. The bottom track is screwed into the concrete and has tile and engineered wood on both sides of it. The door won't close because the roll guide seems to have been worn down. It gets stuck and stops at the screw in the center of the track. This door is over 30+ years old but works fine until a month ago.
Do I have to remove flooring to remove the door?
Do you have instructions on how to successfully remove the door?
Am I able to replace the roll guide without removing the track? (does it have to slide into the end of the track?)

You should be able to remove the door without removing the track. One of the pins at the top should depress, which will allow you to tilt the door in and pull it out of the bottom track.
The guide cannot be removed without first removing the track, though, since it slides out from the end. I don't know how extensive your flooring situation is but if the track is really in there then tearing it up may be necessary.
Considering that, you may want to consult the help of a local professional for this project. It may be a bigger hassle than it seems.

I was able to remove one of the pins from the track but the second pan doesn't want to move. Are there instructions on how to remove the door and put the door back because it's not making sense to me at all? I could see if both pins were able to come out of the track then yes it would tilt back and I would be able to remove it if the bottom pans are simply resting in sliders. But I don't see any way to remove the edge pin from the track. If I had instructions to see how to put the door in or how to remove it this would be far simpler.

We don't have instructions for this exact type of door, but we do have a video guide on how to remove bifold doors/door pins in general. I will share it below. We also have a more detailed written guide that you may find helpful, which you can see here.
Like I mentioned, these are all general tips. Nothing will be specific to your particular door, but I don't think your door has special considerations anyway so it should all still apply.
