how to remove push nuts
299623
I found a prybar to be the best bet. If you are very patient, you might be able to pry them off without breaking them using a large screwdriver or a small prybar. Both of mine snapped. However, your local hardware store may carry them or you might be able to order them from an online retailer like McMaster Carr. The shaft size is 5/8. Since my shaft ends were already drilled, I was able to use a thick cotter pin and a washer as a substitute for the pushnut.

Here is my review where I tell how I did it. It was not easy, I'll tell you. Like another reviewer I do not use my hand truck often, mostly taking large plant pots in and out of garage seasonally. Every time I went to use the tires were flat and a real pain to inflate. The stem kept moving in when I pushed in valve to inflate. I tried using the type of valve that snaps on but they don't work. So I found these tires and it looked like they would work. I ordered a pair and am happy to see they have bearings and grease fittings, very nice. Taking off the old tires, whoa. They have press nuts on the axle and I tried several methods to get them off. My only success was drilling with a tungsten drill and finding a weak spot and I managed to drill into it and break it with a screwdriver and hammer. Then I took off the wheel, punched out the roll pins on the axle and removed the axle from the hand truck. I bashed off the other press nut. At first I put the tire on with the grease fitting out and that was wrong. The axle wasn't long enough and the tire hit the truck. You have to put the grease fitting side toward the cart. I put on the tires, put the rolled pins back in. Now I no longer had press nuts but there were holes in the axle for cotter pins or hitch pins, I used hitch pins. There was 1/2" of space between tire and pin which wasn't good so I made 1/2" spacers out of 3/4" PVC pipe, I've done that for my garden cart and it works really well. I put on the spacer then the washer then the hitch pin. Finally done I used the cart and it works really well, better than the originals because these have bearings. I wrote all this cause I thought it may help.

I used a pair of pliers. Came out pretty easily. Pull, but don't jerk or yank and it should give way.

Hi Stephanie, It is very easy and tool free to remove the arms. There are two push pins that you press inwards and then lift the arm up to remove.

Is this a trick question? The right way. LOL. Using the supplied allen wrench, loosen the nut by turning clockwise while pressing the blade lock. Remove the blade and replace in the reverse order.

Stick a flat blade screw driver under the socket and twist to pop it off or tap it in with a hammer if it's really stubborn.

Pry off the half that does not have the LED in it. My two units came apart using just my fingernail to grab it. It is quite a solid fit, but nothing I needed tools for.

I push it through the base using a fingernail or the bit that is currently removed, from top to bottom.EDIT: I see from the earlier replies I have been doing it wrong. :)

To remove disc use locking pin and turn disc counter clockwise. If holding pin breaks/bends do not take apart to hold armature. Remove black bezel from around housing. Remove locking pin from housing. There is a star washer holding the pin in. Remove this washer and pry locking pin out. It may be difficult to remove since it will be bent. After removing, find a long punch to insert in place of locking pin. Use punch that is long enough to protrude through other side of shaft. Do this only if paint eater is out of warranty.

push them in hard, if you have a rubber mallet hit it with the mattel, don't use a hammer as you can crack the wheel

Unscrew retaining nut, remove washer, slowly working the edge ply the metal lid up. Careful not to damage the rubber, for inner rubber covered lid, gently pull rubber barrel edge back to release pressure/vacuum, then pull up inner rubber covered lid. It can be pulled by the stud that held the nut inplace.

"Easily" is a strong word. The bolts do snap in and out of the plastic, some more easily than others. I've had to use a hammer to tap them out once or twice when removing them. I get the feeling that they will loosen considerably the more that they are removed from the plastic. I haven't tried removing any of the nuts yet.

Press the gear down, it moves just enough to get the c ring off. You can use a couple of small standard screw drivers to remove if you do not have the right tool ( i used screw driver method, but watch your fingers)

The pins will come out if you work at it. Some things that might help are a hammer, and screwdriver along with a little WD 40.

I would not recommend tightening the nuts until they snap off. I have installed dozens of these and get them to wrench tight and that is it. Then the toilet seat can be removed if need be.

When I received the drill press, the chuck was attached. I don't see how it can be removed. You will have to check with the supplier.

Look at the top tip and you will see an acorn nut. It is there to protect the 1/4"-20 threaded end. Mine was just finger tight and I didn't need a wrench to remove them.

easy to remove the top nut and then screw down the intern is not necessary to remove the rubber just move aside the direction
