bennyv78 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 It is a quite violent procedure, but take a strong and big screvdriver and put between the first and second wheel, and then bend. There is going to be marks on the wheels, and youre strengh will be tested, but just wiggle the screwdriver and the wheels will come of. The wheels it attached just like SIKU with a brick.

THEN - how did you get the wheels off Please explain in less than 100 words - but MORE than 35 words... many thanks Yours sincerely Marky Ferguson OBE MBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi Marky,sorry been away all day checking out my mate's diorama,see below,right the "pullers",the "tips" of the pullers were to thick to fit between the wheels,but did fit over the tyres,so I pulled the tyres off,which let me see the problem clearer,so I shoved the handle of a pair of plyers in one side of the wheel and a bigish screw driver in the other side and just prised the wheel off,they are held on by a bearing like washer which is "squeezed" onto the end of the axle and et viola.

MODELFARMER Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sorry late to this topic, Here I've ofund the simplest way to remove siku wheels or any wheel held on like the STX with the bushing squeezed on to the shaft, Set tractor in its side Take a phillips head screw driver ( strong one) Set it on the end of the axle Hit down hard on the screwdriver to "push" the shaft out of the bushing.
