They are typically located at the bottom of the door, near the base of the door. Remove the covers using a screwdriver and take off the rollers (Photo 1). A rag and denatured alcohol are great to remove gunk on the wheels. When the rollers are clean just a few drops of oil should enable them to glide smoothly over the tracks.

After the head stop has been removed, you can access the adjustment screws for the rollers to adjust their height. After reinstalling the rollers each adjustment screw with the access hole, and tap it into position using an wooden block to avoid damage to the wheels.
