In our 96year old house, we have a pocket door with leaded glass at the bottom of the stairs. We still use this door in the winter to reduce the need to heat the air on the stairs. Recently one of the two bolts broke. The inside bolt broke (inside end of the door which slides into the wall first). The door is now hanging uneven by one wheel and bolt. We slid the door back in the pocket until I can fix it. I am hoping I dont have to remove some of the wood molding around the door opening to access it. Id rather remove the molding than open up the plaster and lathe wall.The only way I have been able to get a good look at the broken bolt was using a bore-scope camera. I'm not sure the best approach to attempt this repair. My thought so far is to remove the door from the good bolt so I can access the deeper inside roller and replace that bolt, then attempt to reattach the door to the two bolts.The good bolt hangs down from the wheel and enters in the top of the door through a small hole. From one side of the door there is another hole that had a brass cover that exposes access to a nut that is shaped like a gear. I am guessing I'll need to lift up the door to release the tension on the bolt so I can loosen it. I'm not sure how to loosen that "gear" nut. The hole in the side of the door for accessing the nut is about an inch in diameter. What tool would be best?Here is a picture of the "gear" nut (I'm not sure what the technical term is). https://ift.tt/2GVLHGX via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2ELnzVI
