Default Anyone know how to fix a pocket door?

Got two clients (actually one client & one friend) who have pocket doors
that are off their tracks. Pain in the ass. Both are different but
similar; as near as I can tell, one was probably installed in the 1960s,
the other one probably 15 years ago or so.

Both have finished walls that are inaccessible. Does anyone have any
clever tricks for getting these goddamned things back on their tracks?
I've looked at them, scratched my head and come up with zilch so far.

Many thanks to anyone who can give me a clue here.


Take a look here at how they should be installed and how to repair them.

You should be able to remove one trim member in the top of the door
opening and access/remove the door.

Thanks--great stuff! I'm hoping I can get them working without having to
cut into the wall.
