rear roller not driving?

qualcast 35s rear roller drive noisy and not driving
how do i remove the roller and what am i looking for?

Is this a cylinder model? If so, I can almost guarantee that the roller drive gear is stripped. Remove the side casing, remove the roller drive pulley, and behind it you will see the drive spindle assy held in by (depending on production date) 3 or 7 screws, and it may or may not include the roller bearing. Remove it, and the gear (replaceble) is exposed. While it's out, examine the internal ring gear in the roller. Less common, but it does wear.

Expensive, but easy.
