Sliding door nylon block

Anyone on here changed the nylon block on the sliding
door runner?mine's buggerd and needs replacing.
Looking for advice and tips on how to change it.

Lift the rear of the door off. (you may need to remove the sliding door track cover, my van doesn't have one...)
I then rested the rear of my door on a jack.

Remove the old block (it is screwed in place)

Fit the new one with a screw. It is lucky I bought a new screw as the old one was rusted on.

Refit the rear of the door.

Easy :lol:

Be ready to take the weight of the door, they're fookin' heavy, don't ask me how I know :lol:

Rest the door on a block of wood supported by a trolley jack. Makes life so much easier.
