How to Remove Stateroom Door on TT?

I searched for a thread on this and didn't find one. Our stateroom door rollers on our Taiwanese trawler sound like it is grinding coffee every time we open the door. We sleep with the door closed in the winter to conserve heat and in the summer to help with the eternal Alaska daylight. If one of gets up the other has little chance of remaining asleep due to the noise. They seem to be brass mechanisms on ball bearings?? I'm hoping to replace with something quieter. I thought the trim panel was the "keeper" and that didn't work. the brass rail that the door slides on is screwed in farther back into the door housing so I can't get it off. It's like they built the boat after they recessed the door. I am reluctant to do any further "demolition" until I can find out how to get it out without damage. Any help?

Thanks.
