Replace Schwintek slide roller?
Does anybody know if it's possible to get the shaft out then slide in a replacement roller?

I just got a reply from Lippert: they have a replacement roller including a support that has horizontal screws. I guess the idea is to grind off the existing screw heads, pull out the original roller and slide in the new one. Screws would go behind the rubber gasket in the original photo.
I guess I'll order a couple. None of the other rollers is showing this problem but it's probably just a matter of time.
Yes, you can shear off the old roller mount screws. THINK about it. HOW do you install 1 or 1.5 inch screws when you barely have 1.5 inch clearance? How do you get any screwdriver (angled or not) to drive the screws in? You CANNOT. As I have had to do this before. Doug
