You can use a ~1/4" deep well socket and an extension to get leverage on the end of the torsion rod. Then you can slide the wheel into the right location.
They do pack a punch!
Don't use a box-end wrench as a lever. They can slip, and that can be very bad news for anything in the way of the torsion rod.

OK, I'm gonna have to bite on this one. I'm trying to replace one exploded roller. I understand fitting a deep socket on the end, but by push down, I assume you mean towards the front or forward. The issue is that the extension ends up hitting the deck lid above where the roller needs to go. I can see that the grill end piece can be removed, but there still is a welded brace that goes across and blocks your forward motion.
SO, I'm either not understanding something or there must be some other way.
I totally don't understand the 2X4 method. The ring end of an adjustable wrench makes sense, but seems to me it would slip off before you got it far enough forward to place the roller on.
Very confusing. Anyone have pictures or a link that shows how you're doing this?
Thanks,
