Roller replacement involves swapping out the garage door's rollers, typically made of nylon or steel, with new ones that match the door's size and weight. This process requires careful measurement and alignment to ensure proper operation. The rollers' diameter, usually ranging from 2 to 3 inches, and bearing type, usually sealed or unsealed, are also important considerations.
