Question:

I need new side guide rollers to replace 4 of mine. Id like to send a picture and dimensions for you to let me know what I need. I cand find the exact ones I need and I dont know how to get mine off. The long roller is 8 3/4 long. The top cap part is so old it falls apart just touching it. I'm guessing the rod in the center is kept in with some sort of cap.

Helpful Expert Reply:

It appears you have the Yates Side Guide Roller # YR9202-4 with the Yates Endcap # YR220-4. The endcap is held in place on the 1/2" Shaft # CE10705A by a Cap Nut # CE10800. These are a press fit on the shaft and can take a bit to get the cap nut off. As you mentioned the top portion is just falling apart as you touch it it would be easiest to just cut it off to gain access to the cap nut which you can then use a 1/2 open end wrench to get under the cap nut and pry/hammer off the nut.
