Changing a roller on a paint roller is a simple process that requires minimal tools. Here's how to do it:
1. Remove the Old Roller
- Unscrew the roller cage: Locate the screw or screws holding the roller cage to the handle. Unscrew them using a screwdriver or wrench.
- Remove the old roller: Carefully pull the old roller off the cage. You might need to gently twist or wiggle it to loosen it.
2. Attach the New Roller
- Slide the new roller onto the cage: Align the roller with the cage and slide it onto the metal rods. Ensure the roller is seated firmly and that the ends are flush with the cage.
- Tighten the screws: Secure the roller cage to the handle by tightening the screws you removed earlier.
3. Test the Roller
- Roll the roller on a scrap piece of cardboard: This will help you ensure the roller is properly attached and spins freely.
You can now use your paint roller with the new roller!
