Does anyone have experience replacing roller hardware on the sliding bathroom doors?
The bathroom pocket door on my 67 Tradewind has been stuck for some time. I investigated the problem and found that one of the hanging rollers on which the door is suspended is missing a wheel (each hanger originally had two wheels) and this seems to be causing the problem -- the door hangs lower than it should because of the missing wheel, so it drags on the floor while closing, and while opening it catches on the floor and jams, and you have to physically lift the door (squatting on the floor) to get it to slide into the pocket.
The roller that is damaged is the one that's harder to access, because it remains inside the pocket even when the bathroom door is fully closed. I have managed to remove the front roller, with the intention of turning the door into the bathroom to remove it from the track, but I still can't turn it far enough to access the rear roller.
It looks like the only option is to remove one side of the bathroom wall or the other, in order to get access to the track and the rear roller. This seems like it will be a great deal of work, so if anyone knows another trick for getting this door out or replacing the hardware while leaving the door in place, I'd like to hear about it.
