Remove the top and bottom plastic corner pieces, screws are on the inside.
If fitted, remove door stops which are on the rails near the corner pieces.
Doors should slide straight out.
Re-assemble in reverse order, remembering to put some sealant around the joints of the corner pieces.

Thanks for reply but corner bits only have 1 screw on the right as I look into shower. The corner/ bend bits don't seem to be able to come out.

I see what you are saying on rail stops... The top ones I presume. If I unscrew them.. The door unit will drop and I presume the door will pop out...

Both plastic corner pieces should come apart, thats the way the unit is assembled. The trouble is that they are a very tight fit so you dont want to break them, try a bit of prising with a flat screwdriver. There should be a screw each side if I remember correctly.
Edit:
When you are trying to take them out the framework will be pushed out over the edge of the shower tray.
You may also need to slacken off the screws where the panel sits into the wall profile, try one side at a time.
I cannot remember the castor type on that door, can the castor piece be unscrewed and the door dropped? I not sure on that type if it was possible.

Again .. Thanks for replying. Ion the 'bends'.. They seem to have extensions into the runner units. If I slide a blade between them.. There is resistance.

The castor on top has 2 screws... I might photo it tomorrow and load again on the thread and see what u think. The amount on **** and gunk in there is cat!!

Am back with new pics...

As you can see on the 'bends'... there is 1 x Screw but they other side seems to be a 'plug' of some sort. I cant get it out anyway.

The other pic is the TOP of the door. I presume if I unscrew these 2 screws.. the door will drop to bottom runner and fall out????

Many thanks for all the help

It looks like its bonded in on one side with maybe silicone,or else a plug that i dont think should be there.if i owned this door i would be cleaning the channels and crevices with the correct detergents and an old toothbrush and using the shower hose to rinse out the debris after it loosened up.It will clean up perfectly.your bringing alot of work on yourself.
Then maybe in a couple of years fit a new door with rollers on the door that allow you pop out the door.express fit new shower door with pop out rollers are 150 euro approx

Totally unnecessary and a no no, plenty cleaning products and tools to achieve a successful outcome, trying to reverse rusted screws or entertain other foolishness would only be making work for yourself.
