Has anyone had any luck at replacing just the roller on the sliding door lower track? For a 2005 T1N, right side door. I can buy the entire lower assembly (part #5103588AA) but thought I'd try to just replace the roller if possible.
For those who are in the same boat... my slider door was rough so I planned to lube it with a bunch of garge door track grease (lithium grease I think?). I took off the plastic step cover to clean out 10 years of junk. The step cover is held on with five T30 bolts. The middle one is long, the others are short. It was hard to pull the four diamond shaped plugs from the step. I ended up screwing a small screw a few threads deep in each one and using pliers to yank it out. The fifth bolt is deep in a hole underneath a plug you can pry off with a screwdriver. This is at the side of the step closest to the front of the van. This picture shows the removed step and all the bolts and plugs...
After removing the step, I found the lower door arm had been sliding on just the post. Probably for years. I found the remains of the roller amid tons of dirt, debris, and one pen. Looks like this...
So if someone knows how to replace just the roller, I'd love to do that. Thanks!
