    Ok...so I ordered replacement wheels but only the wheel not the bearing assembly. How do you get the old ones apart? Cut the old wheel off? Help!!

    Put the old wheel over something that has a hole large enough for the bearing to fall off. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to push the bottom bearing off the wheel. Get the bearing and shim. Turn the wheel over and push the other bearing off. Get the other bearing. Install bearings and shim into new wheel.

    Thanks. I ended up just cutting them off. Cut down half way then popped them with a screw driver. Worked perfectly. I couldn't get a screwdriver under the bearing.
