Replacement and Removal of the Rollers and Hinges
The replacement process of a broken roller or hinges undergoes the same steps.
The only distinct detail between them is the parts themselves.
Technically, the rollers are locked into the panel’s tracks.
By doing so, it helps the rollers from coming off the tracks.
Meaning, you will not be able to replace the rollers without getting to the hinges first.
Therefore, to be able to remove the rollers, we must remove the hinges before we can replace them.
Before we proceed to the replacing process, let’s make sure to observe safety precautions such as
- Turning off the opener by unplugging it from the power source
- Make sure you have someone to assist you to do the replacement process
- Gather the materials in one place where they can be seen or reached to easily
Things you need
- Newly purchased replacement rollers
- Screwdriver with a flathead
- A couple of clamps
- Crowbar
Replacing bottom rollers
- Make sure to open the door panel completely
- Hold or lock the garage door track in position using the clamp
- With the help of your handy tools, slightly bend the top portion of the track
- Once there’s an opening, you can now easily remove the old rollers
- Then, place the new replacement rollers into the track. Make sure there are four rollers inside the track.
After removing and replacing the rollers, simply reverse the process done earlier.
By doing so, just realign the bent track to its place.
Replacing top rollers
- Open the door panel completely
- Lock the door panel in place using the clamps
- Locate the middle portion of the track then slightly bend to facilitate the removal of the rollers
- Then, remove the old rollers and replace them with new ones.
- Realign the track by simply reversing the process done earlier
Once the replacement process is done, make sure the tracks are in place.
Then, plug your opener back.
Secure and Tighten the Components
If you think the tracks are tight, loosen the bolts enough to facilitate the panel to slide up and down the tracks.
Secure the moving parts including the screws and bolts that are not too loose including the garage door track.
Considering the function of the garage door, vibration may loosen the screws.
As a result, it may cause blockage to the tracks later on.
Bottom Line
Learning the process and doing the repairs are two different things.
Basically, you have to learn the steps to successfully do the actual repairs.
The good thing is there are preventive measures that you can do without the supervision of a skilled technician.
By starting on the minor repairs and replacement, it will help you achieve major repairs in the future.
Moreover, it’s highly recommended to call for technical support to keep you and your family safe.
