Push On Shaft Retainers; Removal Of ?

[Robert11]

Hello,

I have a metal cart where the two tires are held onto the shaft using
these "push-on" type of fasteners.

The kind with the prongs all the way around so they can move in only one
direction.

Like as shown if you visit the Starlock site. > http://www.bakfin.com/
(see half-way down the page)

Horrible method of holding the tires on, as there is no good way to
remove them to put on a new tire, easily.

Anyone have any hints on how to get these things off of the shaft ?

Thanks,
Bob

I believe these fasteners are a one-time use item. New ones can be
found at a hardware store. Not expensive, at all.

Yeah, get a pair of pliers or side cutters and tear them off, drill a
hole and use a washer and kotter key or a little hose clamp to keep the
wheel from coming off.

Print out your web page and bring to the hardware store, or any place that
has all the Hillman pullout box drawers.
