Great video, thank you. I am new to using a wheelchair and thus helped me feel more confident that I can care for my chair without having to take it somewhere far away to get basic maintenance.

Ahhhh , yeah ... WD40 great stuff; many uses. "WD" stands for Water Displacement . Basically it was designed to dry out and lubricate electrical components like switches and relays. It actually has minimal lubrication for mechanical apparatus , but it gets used for just about everything.

Thanks for the quick lesson!

WD-40 attracts dirt, and if you use it frequently it will gum up your bearings.... Use a Teflon or Silicone based lubricant. They are dry lubricants, so you won't attract dirt or stain your cars upholstery and your clothes when you assemble disassemble your wheels. I prefer Teflon lubricants. They work wonders.

I agree that it makes a big difference if your tyres are properly pumped up. However at 30-40 psi the tyre will be too hard to gauge the pressure with your hand. A pump with a built in pressure gauge is pretty handy.

This is the only video I have found that even mentions replacing the tyres. I am really looking for a buying guide to replacing my rear wheel tyres but can’t find anything 😢

BRO.... You use WD-40 on your axles? That junk gums up over time, and attracts dirt. I recommend a Silicone or Teflon Based aerosol lubricant. You will notice a difference that your chair glides with less effort and rolls longer. It is night and day vs. WD-40. In basketball I used SuperCo. Teflon-A Dry lubricant and I used to cover the label on the can with tape, so the opposing team wouldn't know our secret. It gives a definite advantage, but if you are on a even slightly uneven surface prepare to roll away.

Hi. I am refurbishing a chair. The wheels don't have a valve, I assumed they were solid rubber but the sidewall is quite flexible. Do they make solid ones? I came here looking for a way to resurface them as the outer tread, an asphalt like material, has many little chunks missing. Possible? Am I lost? lol.

You probably have foam core inserts. Basically its solid foam inner tube.

What do I do if my rear wheel won't come off neither one of them

@standupguylive5877 3 жыл бұрын

most likely your rear wheel axles have gunked up a bit, or potentially both axles have bent inside the axle sleeve. you can take a rubber hammer and gently tap around the inner wheel (away from the frame) while you have someone assist you in pressing the quick release pin and pulling the wheel away from the frame. use some wd40 around the axle hub too to help loosen things up

I'll try it on Sat and let you know.. thank you

You probably used a wet oil, or WD-40 which attracts dirt. Use a penetrating catalyst such as PB blaster to remove your axles. Then clean them and the axle tubes with 97% isopropyl alcohol. Then switch to a Silicone or Teflon based dry lubricant. Your welcome. You can thank me later.
