Disassembling the door check:
A decent used door check made with blended PNP parts was disassembled.
With the rollers in the half open position (first stop) the 10mm bolt was removed and the leaf springs were then removed by sliding them out of the slot towards the front of the check strap.
The check strap and the rollers were removed from the housing.
The outer rollers simply lift off the roller shaft.
The bent roller shaft was frozen and stuck in the check strap.
The check strap was placed on a scrap 2X4, and the bent roller shaft was removed with light hammer blows.
The straighter original door check strap roller shaft was re-used.
