CAPTAIN ACCOMPLISHED QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK PROCEDURES AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  FLIGHT LANDED AT MIA WITH FLAPS 15 AND WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  FLIGHT TAXIED TO THE GATE UNDER ITS OWN POWER.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 4 LEADING EDGE SLAT ROLLERS..  ALSO, AS PRECAUTIONARY, REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 4 LEADING EDGE SLAT ACTUATOR (P/N 65-44651-16).
