How to replace window rollers

This is a DIY deal. I bought the rollers and pins from classic chevy. I installed one using there new pin. I did not like how it mushroomed over. Thus I ground it off and used the OEM pins and the new rollers. I ground down the staked side and , used a square face punch. I installed the new roller , tapped the new set up back into the arm and hit it very quicly with the mig. Then used a bit of water to cool the part down to prevent the roller from melting. It took me less than 10 minutes to do all them this way. Just thought it would be a nice post.

Re: How to replace window rollers

You are welcome, I did it my way and like the way it turned out, like I said I was no inpressed with the pin/ rivet they sent. If you do not have a welder well then different story. But a mig is becoming a normal item for the DIY type guy.

These roll sooo smooth vs the other way its not funny. Good luck

Yes I am that guy and I did get them, and it is done now, too long of a story to go into. Bottom line do not use them.
