I'm having trouble getting the wheels on this toy. Any tips?

I gave it to my granddaughter. For all I know my son pounded them on with a hammer.

It, or at least mine, came with an orangey-brown tool that you place the "hubcaps" and hit with a hammer. If you don't have that tool then this task is automatically harder, but still doable. You need to place the cap on the axle, then against a hard (high damping or concrete) surface. After that hit the open end with a hammer square on. Slide the axle through the yellow base and flip over, place wheel and cap on and tap squarely until the cap flanges yield and deform around the axel. Repeat for the second axle. The difficulty without the aforementioned tool is the load distribution on the cap. The tool ensures even load distribution and deformation of the cap flanges. Good luck!

We bought three of these, one for each grandchild. The wheels were tough to get in but after watching the video my husband got them in and we haven't had any trouble with them staying in place. Don't be afraid to really use some strength on them. Make sure you have them in the correct position, it almost seemed to me that you are putting them in backwards. Once they click into place they are locked in and stay. Good Luck and I hope you get this mastered. The grandkids as well as the adults have had hours if fun riding these.

Did you get any answers? I can't figure out how to put the wheels on securely.

Mine was really hard to move around with the rollers (straight out of the box) and I noticed one of the wheels is completely missing...good luck moving it if that's the case with yours.

Make sure you push the wheels in far enough. If I remember correctly, I had to push really hard; you should hear a big "pop" when that in. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the details of how you use them. I have a yes and a no. The problem is I am alone and it's extremely difficult to lift and place each wheel. And frustrating to have them slip off when moved. But again, I'm grateful for your time.

Now it's ok? That time after I receive it, at the beginning I can't "snap" the wheels on too. Just use force and knock it to put it on.

Hi, my son and I tried to get the wheels off but they don't budge. I'd think it would be safe.

I was finding the same problem. We kept playing with the weight and the top ring. It was a long pain but once you get everything at the right height/ weight it won't stick as much.

I have not needed any extra as of yet, but I would try to take the wheel to a hobby store or write to maker of the toy. If you find them, please let me know.

I just put my granddaughter's together and the piece you are talking about doesn't go all the way in, just make sure it feels tight. once you put the steering on and tighten it, it holds together well. also the front little wheel doesn't touch the ground. Hope this helps!

Pull the metal top straight up from the plastic base. I had to play with it also to figure out!

As for the wheels, just reach down and pull up the levers. VeryEasy, very simple---Sorry, can't help with the foot rests---They should have some instructions but they have not.

Just grip onto where the wheel is and pull and twist. It's hard to get open the first time

Sorry. The one we bought was the first one we purchased. Our granddaughters LOVE it. They've only had it since Christmas so I hope the wheels are still working. Let me know if you find out where to get replacement wheels. The way they're using it, they'll need them also.

I'm not sure to be honest with you. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? They may replace it for u free of charge or u can take it into your nearest toys r us and see if they have any spare wheels they can sell u.
