FAQ’S – CHANGING WHEELS/BEARINGS
How do I change a worn out wheel or bearing?
To swap out a wheel and bearing assembly is fairly straightforward. The only tool you need is a
flathead screwdriver (and maybe a pair of vise grips to keep the axel from spinning if the bolt
is a bit tight). Please note the order that the wheel, washer and lock washer are in (see photo
below)
To change a bearing of a wheel that you want to keep, you’ll need a pair of internal snap ring
pliers. A 7/16” socket will help press the bearing out, and a ½” socket will help press the new
one in without destroying the seal.
