Remove Castor Wheel
Tools required.
To remove castor wheel from the fork, you will require 2 x 8mm sockets (3/8 sq drive).
Thread locking compound (Loctite 277 or similar) for assembly.
Remove
Raise wheelchair so castor wheel is 25mm to 50mm from the ground so the wheel can
easily be removed from castor fork.
When loosening the bolts, one bolt should stay in tack with the spindle while the other
side will loosen. This is because one bolt is secured using high strength Loctite 680,
while the other bolt uses a thread locking compound, Loctite 277.
Assemble
With one side of the spindle assembled with washer and bolt, slide opposing end of
spindle through fork and wheel until spindle is flush with outside of fork on the
opposing side. Once the spindle is located on both sides of the fork, tighten securely
(Torque7.0 nm) ensuring you use a thread locking compound on the bolts.
⚠ Warning
You must always re-assemble using a thread locking compound (Loctite 277 ®) or
equivalent on the 5mm bolts.
Failing to do so may result in bolts unscrewing. Never use substitute parts.
Use only Glide spindle shaft, 5mm 8.8 bolts and special washer.
