Great Video! Thanks for taking the time to share your solution,I appreciate it! I myself am putting the front wheels of a Toro 1638HXL lawn mower tractor that I found in the junkyard on my Handcart dolley to haul around Half ton capacity floor jacks.

Use a flat edge screw driver and a hammer to lightly tap around the edge of a push knot. That will spread them hem open enough to free it up. Tap it with a hammer to close it once it’s off and reset it. That simple.

Wow. Thank you. These things are a real pain.

Thanks! I finally got around to changing my hand truck’s wheels today using your process and it worked like a charm 😀

After you get the washer and wheel off, drill a hole in the end of the axle and install a cotter pin. Much easier to change the next time.

Ever heard of a cotter pin? Thats what the hole is designed for. 1 min to install.

Thanks great good idea with the hinge pin!

great way of moving equipment

Thanks for the video, exact same problem

I used a Dremel with a cutting blade to remove the lock washer!

Amazon carries the lock washers and they have tubes for the tires too.

Like you I don't like to throw things away. Got two dollys to replace their tires. One has holes n the other one doesn't

Thanks, good solution. However, next time perhaps have someone hold your video camera so we can see how you solved your "nightmare".

Yes I think a cotter pin would be easier to change

Thank you for the video. I too am having the same problem, however, it was frustrating trying to keep up with the image... Thanks though.

Piece of coat hanger wire works.

That ring that is hard to remove is dangerous, it only works on the cart if you are moving light stuff and there is no strain on the wheels. My cart had lost it long time ago probably when I hauled washer and dryer. Dangerously without realizing I had lost that ring, I hauled my Yamaha amp. Thank to my lord, the wheel did not came off while hauling the amp. I solved my problem with double split clamping shaft collar.

Spend a little more and get worry free tires from hf. I've had mine for years. They're great.

Sounds like a good use for Fix-A-Flat!!

Take a big hammer to the backside the wheel it will take off the ring and you should be able to reuse it

Let's see. I use hand trucks for moving around mostly boxes, stacks of stuff, small appliances, etc. Not so much ammo. #myloss

All you need is a hinge clip or hinge cap! Lowe's or Home depot

Harbor Freight carries those inner tubes for a few bucks each.

I am unable to remove the cap on the wheel. You didn't show how to remove the cap.

Tractor supply carry them

No we can't see this haha

I hope u know how to record now after 8y, put the camera in the area that you want people to see, simple but u fail. I just use a nail instead of pin.

Next time u want to make a video how to change the tire in ur dolly u have to actually see what ur doing, sorry just my opinion

The washer looking fastener is called a bunch of different names: Push Nuts, Starlock, Star Washer, Speed Nuts, Push Ons, Push On Fixes. Unfortunately I still couldn't find the size I needed in stores.

Really good info but really bad video shots

Believe it or not, it's called a "DOLLY". "Dolley" is a woman's name.

or put the dolly on the side and hammer the rims to push out the lock washer which is 5/8 of an inch
