OK. where you pull the bottle from the machine, one of the little rollers is out of its cast holding position. Any Idea what tool I need or how to get it back in? It's half in and half out. I can see a little pin on one end that holds it in place and it's worked it's way almost out but won't budge? :(

Can you post a picture? If it is what I think you're saying, my manual says it is a roll pin. If so, you would need a roll pin punch to get it out. Then you can replace it with one from Ace Hardware or wherever. Roll pins are hardened steel, so don't try drilling etc. as you will just ruin your bit.

You don't want to take that pin out, you want to drive it back in. If you find another short roll pin you can squeeze it in the hole with pliers, forcing yours in further

The casting the roller sets in won't allow me to do that.Like I said the roller is half atatched hanging out .I need to remove the pin so I can put the roller back in the casting and then put the pin back in to hold it in place.
