A roller of my folding door  is badly damaged, i could not even lossen the nut because the screw is bent and damaged, i intend to saw it off. Any other better way of removing it ?  

 

 

 

An oscillating multi-tool with carbide blade ?

too high tech for me, i am a hammer and hand saw guy. Finally took it out. Now have to go buy a compatible one.

A hack saw! Now that's something I don't have. But I have electric saw.

 

PS I have a folding door also roller bolt bent but still can slide. Let you finish your job first ie whether you can get the roller back in before I decide to replace or not....

You are another high tech lah.

Now i have a problem, i am unable to insert the new wheel into the track unless i dismantle both side of the folding doors  before i could remove the track to insert the wheel, the doors are big and heavy, quite sian.

Bro, i gave up, called in a handyman, he got his worker to help him, i suspect he is moonlighting but that did not bother me. what they did was they used two steel rods to pry open the track , insert the new wheel before clamping back the track to near original shap again.  Damage is $250

In situation like this, mcf advice is to change house. 🤣
250 is on the high end for me. But at least your problem is solved.

Well cemented! Put on some plaster to slope the edge and painted over the plaster. A bit ugly but it's at one corner.
