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

Yes, grabbing rubber.
When I looked at this yesterday and the damage to the wood on the underside of the slide, I thought that what I saw was a seized roller where the roller material had been peeled off as the slide slid across the non-turning roller.
When I got out there today with a flashlight, I could see that the material between the roller and the slide bottom is the rubber seal.
At the moment I don't know if the roller is seized or not. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and try to bring in the slide a bit to see if the roller turns.
Last thing I want to happen is to get the slide only partly open and then be unable to move it!!
