No, the end of the pin the roller sits on is not threaded, and it's probably bent upwards a bit which is making the roller move out to the end. BTW, use a wooden dowel or something to push it back, you'd hate to get your finger snapped by that torsion spring if it lets go. If straightening the pin doesn't work, you could probably tack weld a washer on the end if you have the metal roller, or drill/tap the end of the pin with a small screw and then put a washer on to hold it in place, or go with the gas support kit as others suggested. I'm dinking around fixing mine but now wish I had gone the gas-support route.
