Double-Slidding door track replacement(Not pocket)

We have a 2007 Monty 3500RL. The living space sperator slidding-door track is damaged and needs replacement. Also, the track wheels will need to replaced. I need help on taking the doors down to do the repair. It is a used unit and wasn't noticed until we were closing the doors. Anyone had this problem?

I see none of us has been much help and I'm afraid I also do not have personal experience with this. You are talking about the closet door that separates upstairs from downstairs, right? And the door disappears into the wall when opened?

Based on the floorplan it seems the pocket for the door is behind the entry closet, right? Can you see any panels inside that closet that might provide access to the track when the panels are removed?

Sorry, I'm kind of shooting in the dark here. If you figure it out I'd appreciate if you'd post here so the rest of us will know how to do this.

If nothing else works, is there a Montana dealership nearby where you can talk to the service manager about how to remove that track?

The "Search" function is your friend. There have been a number of folks who experienced problems with their pocket door. Here is a sample of previous postings I found using "Search".

OMG, not the stairway pocket door. I am sorry all for the mixup on the slidding doors. They are the doors that seperate the dining area/kitchen to the Living Room area. They are a pair of glass slidding doors. The upper track is damaged and the top rollers of the doors are in need of replacement also.

I have the same doors in my 350 RL but have never removed the doors. I cannot help except they may lift up like a shower sliding door and off the track. I was at the service center and they removed the right hand door and wall and reinstalled them to stop a squeak but I was not there to see how they did it.
Try just lifting the door straight up to see if that will do the trick. You may need to remove the wood at the bottom so you can pull the bottom of the door away from the wall.
Good luck.

Same doors here....there seems to be a white lever there to release?
I'm sure Lowe's or Home Depot has something for them

May be the original owners traveled without locking them.
