Top Roller Replacement

On most garage doors, it is located on the curved portion of the track, as shown. Separate tutorials provide instructions on replacing the bottom roller and replacing a roller in the middle of the door.
Caution: Do not use these instructions to replace the roller that is secured by the bottom bracket.
