Window regulator question

I've got both of mine out and have cleaned them up in the parts washer and used a brass brush on the rollers trying to free them, I've got two on each side that don't turn so well anymore. Otherwise the regulators are fine. Any tips on freeing the little buggers up? Or should I just replace them? I'd probably replace the whole assembly rather than try riveting new rollers on. Or am I not holding my mouth right? Any wisdom here is greatly appreciated.

Re: Window regulator question

I was not able to find proper replacement rollers for my truck. I ended up installing a new regulator, but I would look for Delco OEM style if you can find it. Dorman makes replacement rollers (usually in a kit of several styles) but none of them are correct for our trucks. Plus, riveting them in place would be tricky. If you have power windows this would be the time to check the motors, harnesses, switches, etc.

Re: Window regulator question

They are manual, and rockauto still stocks AC Delco. We'll get some. Thanks.
