Well looks like I have managed to remove the height adjsutment screw and
not
able to put it back in, and now the roller is totally useless. I am not
able to remove it still, and have no idea how it can be removed. May be
it
cannot be without removing the entire bottom "molding", but I don't want
to
loosen the glass molding attachment.

The brand is "Yale Orgon" does that help?

if you can get it back together, may be able to remove the rust from the
rollers with steel wool, fine or finer grit, to great effect, also clean
tracks with steel wool, then coat with spray triflow with teflon, or
lubricant of your choice

I know on some doors such as Pella, the roller assemble is simply
press fit into the frame.

Spray some silicone spray into the cavity, bend a coat hander and
wrap it around the roller and use the claw end of a hammer to lever it
out.

Go to the door manufacturers service center to get a matching set of
roller replacement. There are also online suppliers. Just do a
google search.

I wouldn't try and salvage an old worn out roller assembly.

I have a pair of aluminum glass doors in my patio. One of the doors
does
not roll right, very easy to go off track and sometimes have to push
real
hard. spraying WD40 on the track did not help. So today I removed the
door
and looked at it's bottom - yuck. Some dead roaches a lot of junk. I
cleaned them out of the channel and then examined the rollers - they
seem
to
be in good "shape" but had rust on them. I sprayed more WD40 on the
rollers, the track, and put it back after the cleaning - not any better.

So I think I need to replace the rollers. But I cannot figure out a way
to
remove them. There is no visible screws or bolts from the outside. I
tried
to look inside, but with all the grease and dirt I cannot see into it
clearly especially with that yucky "mini brush" thingie attached to the
bottom of the channel. I then tried to shove a screw driver inside and
poked around and the roller will "rotate" out by 90 degrees - still
attached
to the door but showing most of the wheel. But nothing exposed indicate
how
I can remove them.

There is a screw on the side towards the bottom of the door, I removed
it,
but nothing seem to come loose. I hope the roller replacement does not
mean
removing the entire bottom channel and detaching it from the glass
panel?

Can someone help? I am not sure I provided enough information to
indicate
what type of doors I have or are they mostly the same?

Thanks in advance,
