Hey,

I have a '68 Firebird and I am trying to replace a broken lower (center) roller on the rear quarter window. Does anyone know how to remove it? Is it pressed in or does it screw in/out?
I read somewhere that may be a special tool for this but I can't seem to find anything on it.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot!
I would have thought all these companies selling the rollers and window components for these vehicles would have the tools needed to change them as well.

Now its time to do a little ebay surfin!

I will, thanks.

Tool is on order now...guess I'll find something else to tear apart while I wait.

Thanks for the help.
