Cleaning out sliding door lower roller

Is it possible to disassemble the lower roller bearings so I can give them a proper clean? I can see a circlip in there so presume that comes out but then what do I do?

 

I see what you've done here.

You've been driving on the beach and now the roller is full of sand!

 

Nope there sealed bearings the circlip is just hold them on

 

Ok so just flush out with degreaser and fill with fresh?

Yes but make sure you have the caps on when done

 

Ah one of them is missing. Will try and track it down.

Is it possible to take the roller off the bracket then? Remove the circlip and then pull off?

Also I have NOS rollers as per:

I must have a different type of roller then, both of mine have exposed ends (although one does have the plastic cap on).
