I've been having problems with my sliding door for ages and have decided to give it a good service. I've found the lower locking lever has snapped and the spring has rusted through on the roller block. Question is, how do I get the pin out?? Is it a case of taking the runner wheel off and bashing it back out? I've seen some pins in online stores that seem to be held in place with a circlip, but the top of my pin is flush with the bracket..
You may need to be more specific. Are all those faults on the middle sliding hinge? Locking lever - got it. spring has rusted through on the roller block. - Not sure what you refer to. Question is, how do I get the pin out? - which pin?
Thanks for the response.. Yes it is the middle hinge, the one that the U-bracket goes into. I can take a photo tomorrow if it helps? But essentially I need to replace part numbers: 211843377A 211843381A They are on a shaft which might be a better word than pin. It looks like you have to remove the roller wheel and bash the shaft out, but thought I'd check as I don't fancy breaking the block.
Cast ali, press maybe but I wouldn't bash. Never tried it myself though I've seen broken ones (the cast part). Good luck. Hopefully someone here has had one apart.
There’s a circlip that needs pulling out , the pin knocks out from underneath, if you don’t remove the circlip you will break the top off the unit
Isn't the circlip to remove the U bit ? By the part numbers he is trying to remove and replace the little hook that hold the door back. Is that pin held by a circlip ? Looks pressed in ? Heat the Ali and press maybe ? I am guessing. Never done one but as said above seen several broken ones, in fact got a broken one here.
I just cant see where a circlip could go? the pin seems to go straight into the cast, it doesnt come out the other side ??
