Can't help you with the wheel, mine is not in great shape either and
I've been thinking of replacing it while they're on sale. The garage
door should have a lock in the center with a cord (on the inside)
attached to a release on the opener's mechanism. If you unlock the lock
and pull on the cord, you should be able to manually lift the door. If
the door doesn't have this lock and you can't get power to the opener
then it's probably time for an axe! <grin>
