Default garage door bottom rollers

what's the deal with the bottom roller on a garage door rollup kind
being the only one NOT having a bushing for the shaft of the roller?
so that the end of the damn shaft falls out of the hole in the bracket
and won't go back in? is there any reason why it SHOULDN'T have a
bushing in it that i can't see?

Since it doesn't have a "bushing" you can put a hose clamp on it to
keep it from pulling out.

not bad. i'd been thinking cotter pin, but fact is i'm never going to
approach that level of effort, but hose clamp is definitely within my
sphere of probability.

i'm thinking maybe too wide... but all the mounting screws are at the
ends of the adjustment slots so i can't take up no more slack.,
