New caster wheels

Post by "Wild Bad Bob" »

I have a set of 4 new caster wheels arriving today, I have the old all metal ones on my SS now. Any trick to changing them? Do I need to remove the caster carriage to just replace the casters? Any info to keep from FIU would be appreciated.

Assuming you are referring to new original sized casters, the old ones pull out, and the new ones are pushed in. That is all! You may need to pry the old ones out with a large screwdriver.

P.S. grease the posts/bores.
