Sliding Door - lower rollers

[angus]

My sliding door needs lots of adjustment to fit properly, but the lower rollers (on the 'front' lower corner of the door) need some TLC - the roller that guides 'in/out' along the runner is fine (the horizontal one) but the one that guides 'up/down' has a buggered bearing.

Amazingly the cost of these seems to be about £8 for the one I don't need, and about £40 for the one I do need!!!!

I also see you can get 'new' complete brackets and rollers for about £50-60, although in some cases these seem to have nylon rollers....

So what should I do - keep my 'original' bracket and swallow the ridiculous price for a single roller, or just get a complete unit...?

Also - just to check - am I correct in the saying that the up/down roller is actually at a slight angle, as opposed to being 90 degrees to the other - or has my 'axle' bent?

Many thanks guys - now sorted.
90% of mine is fine - just that pesky lower roller!
I've bought a replacement one for now as a quick fix. Sadly I like to keep the 'original' bits on the van, so may well get a new roller, or source a bearing, for mine in the future - cheers though.
