It looks fine. CW to lift. I think it's the lower one but don't
really remember (or I only have one.)

I"m glad you didn't try taking out the door. They are really heavy
and becasue the weight is unexpected, easy to drop and break into
thousand of pieces.

BTW, sometimes the door is level but it gets hard to roll. You
probably need to raise the door then too. And maybe spray some lube.

The two screws in the picture (http://tinyurl.com/2nmedz) don't adjust
anything. Both screws simply unscrew -- that is, they back out.

Hhhuh! Then maybe there is another screw underneath the aluminum
frame. I shouldn't have posted without looking -- hope I didn't
cause you any trouble -- but use a flashlight and see if there is one
hiding in the slot underneath, under the mud or whatever that is.

I can't see any way to adjust the rollers.

If you ever take the door out, absolutely have help. I didn't and I
didn't break it, but I took all knds of precautions and even then, a
mistake would have been easy.

I didn't have to replace the rollers the first time the door wasn't
working well (20 or so years old), I just raised it, but maybe I will
the next time.

Also, some people slide part of a broomstick on top of the door to
keep burglars from lifting the door out.
