The original seat track rollers are flattened out and I want to remove them and replace them but I’m not sure how to get them out. I have the track slid as far one way as they will go so one of the rollers is as close to the outside as possible but it seems like I need to get something in there to pull them out but there doesn’t seem to be much room. Any suggestions for how to remove them? Thanks!

As far as I remember just seperate the two metal pieces and the rollers fall out you can slide them apart if I am not mistaken I did the same with mine and changed the rollers.
Note- there are two different track lengths (built the same) in different years of Panteras, so don't try swapping for 'rebuilt' tracks unless you measure what you have first.
I also believe that you need to flatten that metal tab in the lower track to get the rollers out. I had to do that to separate the upper and lower track sections when replacing my rollers years ago. I replaced my rollers with delron plastic of the same diameter.
The tabs keep the two pieces from rolling apart. Flatten one the remove the wheels. Hall sells 8 brass machined wheels for $125.
Thanks for the replies. So flatten one of the tabs to separate the pieces and then I assume you push the tab back up once it’s put back together?
Yep, that's how I remember doing it. Pretty straightforward
Just wanted to follow up on this post. Thanks for the helpful replies. I found it was unnecessary to bend any of the tabs down. With some elbow grease I was able to slide the tracks apart to the point the rollers just fell out. I had to shave the rubber down on a couple of them where it was getting caught in an opening on the top portion of the seat track.
