Ok, here's the rub:
I have a circa 1973 brick house with an Arrow patio door. The glass is thermal glass and is in perfect condition. However, the rollers at the bottom of the screen were shot so I pulled and replace them. That part was easy.
Next, I tried the same trick with the sliding glass door. It is a vinyl covered steel "H" on either side of the door and an aluminum extrusion on the top and a different one on the bottom. The vinyl wraps the aluminum profile perfectly. I removed the screws from the bottom and tried to tap out the bottom but quickly realized that the sides were not liking this so I stopped restored the bottom to it's original position and started to tap out the sides. They won't budge. I put the screws back, put the door back in and now I'm looking for guidance/assistance on how to remove the rollers from the sliding part.
Any other guidance would be appreciated.
