I believe this is my door roller model. It's not intuitive to remove/replace. I've watched several other roller videos and this is unique. I don't want ot force or spring the metal on the door and hope I can get some technical advice.

I do have pictures of the wheels.

Can you offer technical advice for removing this type of glass door slider? I don't want to add too much force.

I did send you a question without picture.

Hello

I have replaced these types of rollers many times over the years. What you need to do is use a slotted screwdriver to pry the metal over where the tabs are on the roller. Place the screwdriver in the location of those tabs and bend over the metal on the door just enough to allow the roller to come out of the door rail. Thanks for posting and let us know if you need anything else.
