Jasper,
I am admittedly unfamiliar with Winthrop rollers but all brands must be similar. It is very possible the sides of the guide need to be spread slightly to release the roller and bushing/bearing. Do so with caution as to not produce a burr which might (probably will given Murphy’s Law) damage the line down the road. It is refreshing to learn there are those who actually maintain their rollers; a small price to pay for the ultimate “Big Boy” guide! Let me know if how it turns out.

Jasper,
Additionally, do NOT forget to use blue Loctite on the threads during reassembly; otherwise you will probably lose the screws and inevitably, at the least opportune time (as in fish on!).

I'd contact them and ask. Not worth risking damage IMHO. Looks like you remove screw on one side, remove delrin end cap, and push assembly out the opposite side of the frame. Russ in Hollywood, FL. Re: Disassemble Winthrop Roller Tops
