Good morning men Thanks for the responses. Roger, my first thought was just what you wrote. Unfortunately, the tractor is parked inside, facing the wrong way. Mark, I couldn't get ten people together either, not without a month's notice. Lifting the door won't be hard, with a lever and a fulcrum. It only has to move about 3" vertically. RWK, the way the door hangs, there is no place to attach anything higher up where it would be able to move the door. Besides, I'm a ground level kind of guy. I don't mind heights, but I do mind ladders. I am 6'2" and 360 lbs. There aren't too many ladders made for people like me. On the other hand, I can replace three of Tom's ten guys all by myself. ;-) Old Bones, you have described the rollers exactly. I would like to avoid having to remove the door if at all possible. To do so would require removing the door next to it and sliding it a good 20' or better. There are four doors on one long track. Dontcha know, it is the inside hanger on one of the inside doors that has come off. Tom, the roller doesn't need to come off the track, but I might be able to get the bracket off the door. That would allow me to reattach it to the roller, and the I would (should) have clearance to get to the bolts holding the bracket to the door. That is probably the least onerous of the possibilities at hand. Of course, I am going to have to remove about 17 layers of paint from the threads of the bolts to get them to turn. I didn't have anything else to do today anyway... Bill
