Removing saloon door


Hello,

I have a 2000 Carver 396 aft cabin, that has sliding saloon door and separate sliding screen. The track and wheels on the screen have become so fouled it does not easily open or close. So I need to remove the door and then screen to clean the track and probably replace the slide wheels. The question is how to best remove the sliding door. Referring to the attached pictures (

), I think the following will allow me to remove the door, but I'm not sure:

(1) remove the two sets of two screws from the top of the door to release from the top track wheels.

(2) remove a set of screws (looks like 3 or 4) along the bottom of the door to release from the bottom track wheels.

(3) the door does not look like it would have room to lift out unless the trim piece at the lower left of the foot well is removed; it appears to be removable with a single screw (and cutting the caulk).

The above is hoping that the seat above the door, the cabinet to the left of the door, or the stainless rail to the right of the door do not need to be removed in order to remove the door.

Any experience, ideas and tips appreciated.

Thank you.
--Jim
