Hi Betsy Do you know who manufactured your door, if so ring and ask them do they have replacement rollers for that make of door.While on the phone ask how to remove them. If you do not know the manufacture then lift off the door and stand it up against a chair so you can inspect how the rollers are held in. As these are made to replace during the door's lifetime, they are either held in by screws or have been pop riveted in. I have had door rollers which I can remove by placing a screw driver under the roller and just easing it out leaving the bracket in place.
