A 2x4, 1 inch pipe and pool noodle!

That's what it took to whip together a fixture to use in conjunction with my motorcycle lift to easily ( Seriously easy! ) to remove/ install my doors all by me self. Now I have the originals in the garage (where it's only 90* vs. outside where it's 110*) lol. Time to tear em down for a complete rebuild. Anybody know what type of grease I need to lube the tracks that won't run?

If its the metal tracks where the rollers run, I put a little wheel bearing grease on mine.
That's what it looked like on there

Nice fixture!

My doors had petrified white lithium grease at all the contact points.

That is such a good move I am claiming it as my own. 😃
