I have a 2013 American Tradition and all our pocket doors need some of the rollers replaced. I can do it, but, I don't know who makes them. They have 3 wheels made out of plastic and a plastic housing.

You will need to remove one of the roller assemblies and see if you can see any identification marks. There are a number of manufacturers and the rollers are specific to the track.

You might get luck and find replacements at a big box store. Here is a source I found on line. https://johnsonhardware.com/10311005...-door-part-set

Lots of the small items on these coaches can be purchased only from the REV Group. A small roller on the bottom of our shower broke...I drove all over and called all over before giving up and getting it from REV. Their only option was to buy a pack of four for $50.

My problem now is that I can't figure out how to get the old rollers out of the track. I know that the track would need to be lowered on one end to get it out. What I have is a double door with an opening of about 30" The track is about 6 feet long and goes into the walls on each side. There is a mirror that could be removed on each side to get access to the screws, I guess, but a pain.

Usually on S&B installations the track doesn't go all the way to the jamb and the rollers will come out the end. I wont be able to check ours in the bus until tomorrow afternoon.

I understand that once I take the door out of the way I could do what you say, just push them out the end of the track and let them drop out. Fine, but, on mine, the track goes all the way to the back. Crazy, like they thought the plastic rollers would never brake.

Some pocket doors are made so you can lift the door up to get it off the tracks and then you have to figure out how to maneuver it out.

Not here. There are 3 wheels that run on a double track. The only way is to remove the track. I think I can make a screw driver, using my right angle attachment and a long extension, to get the screws that are a foot inside. I may need to replace the track also unless I can find rollers the same size.
