sidedoor roller bracket

[daryl1964]

I have a 95 Safari, the sidedoor roller bracket is badly worn and the door slips out of the track, so I bought a new one($146), I need to remove exterior metal track protector???? another thing can the pin that holds bracket in be popped out easily or will I need another one.

There are 3 brackets that are attached to the side door. Upper Bar, lower roller track bar, and rear side roller bar. if you are removing the lower roller bar, then just remove the door panel, and unbolt from the door. Also, there will be a release cable, that will be removed as well.

If you are removing the Rear Side Roller Bar (located at the rear of the door) the outside cover plate is removed from the inside. You will need to remove the large side panel from the inside. Once this is removed, you will see a few sheet metal screws that need removing from the outside cover plate. You will also need to remove the Passenger side Brake light to access the last screw. When installing the cover panel, don't forget to use sealer on all the sheet metal screws. Good luck.
