How do I remove the door from the track? Then, how do I remove and replace the roller?
Thanks,

Hello, Jim! The proper method to removing a given patio door from its frame depends on a few different factors. Before we begin, could you show me a picture of the door from the inside and outside? That will help us determine what kind of setup you have and we can walk you through from there. Thanks!

A quick learner from Santa Fe, NM says:
Thanks for the response. I am attaching four photos of the door. Hopefully these will give you the information you need.
Thanks,
Jim Morris

Thanks for these photos, they're a big help. Maybe I can help you with this project.

The sliding door in this case is on the outside. Your first step is going to be to remove the handle, and then the bumper from the track. Once those are off you should have enough clearance to slide the door all the way back until it's past the bottom bracket in the middle. The bottom should then lift off the track and swing out away from the door.

Hopefully this information helps, but please feel free to reach out if you needed anything else.
