Hi,
Finally got to the casters on my SS yesterday. The small shafts are rusted (pitted ) pretty bad. So are the springs and clips. I can't seem to find exploded parts list and price for replacement parts, only entire caster package. Can someone please provide a link to said parts or point a SAD & CONFUSED SS owner in the right direction?

Thanks as always. You guys are THE BEST

There is an exploded parts list SOMEWHERE in my possession. I am looking!

Don't be SAD. Go make sawdust while you are waiting.

The caster design is so robust, that rust pitting will not deter their working after being cleaned up.

Can the parts be separated? If so get some evaporust and soak them a day or so.

Or if ya be more ambitious, a battery charger(dumb type)(battery optional), a suitable container, some scrap steel, a box of WASHING soda and water.

Replacing the individual parts will be $$$ prohibitive. The retaining clip(four of them) are more than $10 EACH!:eek:

I agree that cleaning the parts, mechanically or chemically, would be the practical approach. However if you want part numbers, here they are.
