Can you take the whole wheel mechanism out of the hideaway?

Yes we've bought extra since we have 2 systems connected for 2 sister hamsters to live in.

the wheel, the hide away, and the pad itself are three different things connected to each other. so yes you can leave the wheel off

Yes the wheel comes off independently and the orange house behind it comes out. I only take it out for cleaning. He loves the wheel and it works great. Behind the wheel is a set of stairs that leads to a food dish and underneath is a hideaway. There are connectors that allow each piece to come free for cleaning. This is a great Hamster cage, we have had no problems with it, the water bottle that some say leaks, works great. We have had this setup for a year and would not hesitate to buy it again! We have a Syrian hamster and he seems to love it too! We added a few pieces one that he loves is the Ovo den. Hope this helps!

I have taken the wheel out, but have not tried to take the rest of it cause my little one likes to sleep in the little nook where the wheel locks in. Without the wheel in there there is tons of running room.

Yes, the wheel mechanism connects to the orange hide-a-way with a white pin. The pin just slides into a hole in the wheel. If your hamster gets a little too active on the wheel the wheel can sometimes come loose and fall off. FYI: This is a beautifully designed cage (aesthetically). However, be sure to clean it scrupulously. The ventilation is poor and chlorine from the hamster's urine can build up quickly.

You don't ever need to take wheel off. There is a spacer between the wheels that can be taken out and you can move wheel over if needed (put spacer on outside of two wheels). I bevel for sidewalk, driveway and curb.

Yes, the top may be removed if you wish. You may also place the hide away any place you like.

Yes you can remove. If you DIY while installing you can easily take it off when you move.

You can take it off. There will just be a gap were the slide was supposed to be tho.

Yes, just loosen the tenion knob and pull up till back comes out of its' slot.

There is a raised section under the bottom about 1/4 inch less than wheel height. No advantage to removing wheels.

Yes the wheel comes off. It also tends to be very squeaky so keey some WD40 handy ;-)

I believe you should be able to. All I needed to do was unplug the fan and remove one screw and the fan/wheel unit was removed. A real easy procedure.

There is an rubber band around the unit on the narrow end just above the retractable stainless springs .... slip that off with a small flat head screw driver and you are good to go.

The manual says no, but I was able to use a thin Harbor Freight cut off wheel by flipping over the nut that holds the wheel in place. I've run through about 4 or 5 cut off wheels this way, and it works fine. Your mileage may vary.

Yes, it is a spring loaded pin that allows the wheels to be removed. Even if you do not remove wheels the buggy does collapse down very well. Enjoy this dog buggy, we love ours.

Once you tighten the hitch, you can 'unlock' the adjustment knob. It will then freespin. So you won't be able to remove the rack

Yes it can be removed with a torx bit, but I was able to pull it into the rim without having to do so.

I can not answer this question, it is necessary to remove the wheel and alienate it from the base

Yes, you can move it around or take it out. The base is sticky though you will need some effort to be able to pull it off. I was moving the first that I bought between two vehicles untill I bought the second.

Yes, it can be remove but if it will be an off and on setup then it's not right for your need 'coz the roller pads are lock in by the metal end caps.
