bearing wheel replacement

I have a heavy, 48" insulated glass wood frame sliding door with two bearing wheels. It is apparent that one or both of the wheels have either worn out or are damaged, the door slides inconsistently and occasionally with a scraping sound. I have found SS ball bearing wheels in 11/4" and 11/2" sizes. Can I change out just the wheels into the old bracket? Do I need any special tools to do this? Do you have parts for such a door? I estimate it's age at roughly 48 yrs, Can you help me?

Hello there!
Thanks for reaching out to us. We'd be happy to look into this. However, we'll need more information. Can you show us some photos of the roller in question?
