Technical 1940 Ford Window Regulator Help

My regulator was having problems (not cranking window evenly) and find the front-side roller has somehow come out of the regulator arm. Looks like they're press-fit into the arm and also held by spring tension but i am having problems getting this one in. Is it indeed press-fit? Any tricks?

Couple pictures included in case I am not explaining correctly: one of the front arm less the roller, one of the rear arm with roller intact, and one of the roller/spring assembly.

Thanks for the help.

 

pressed in--have fixed a couple

 

Olscrounger -
Thanks for the confirmation. While still on the car w/the window glass in, would you take a channel locks and keep tightening a little at a time and then clamping on each side of the arm and roller channel till it comes through?

 

undo the glass-slide it up and wedge something to hold it-take reg out and fix roller and stud-either drive back in and peen backside or spot weld it after in position

 

Anyone have some help they can pass along? Trying to install new window regs in the car. Can it be done as the pic shows? as 1 piece together? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ernie

 

Do a search here, there’s a few threads on the procedure.

 

Put regulator in the bottom of the door. Install win the door. Get the glass in just far enough to slip the the lower onto the regulator. Then hold all that and turn the window winder to raise the glass and relocate the regulator. Start putting the regulator screws in.
