Awesome! Thank you! I wish I had RU-vid 35 years ago!

Hi I have a radio flyer wagon with a push/ cap nut. The axle measures .44 in but I can't find a cap nut anywhere that fits this exactly. Would a 7/16 (0.4375 in) nut work? I found a 4 pack of these. Thank you

thanks!!

I smack the flange behind the indention tabs and it raises them off the axle ever so slightly then I can plier them off with ease. Many profane outbursts occurred before method achieved success.

Looks like a plan. BLESSINGS!

Unfortunately the push nut is recessed below the wheel hub. The only way to get a vise grip is straight in (no good for torqueing) and the flange OD of the push nut is so close to the recess diameter that the best one can do is go in at a 45 degree angle which prevents prying on the edge of the push nut (it just pops off). I could drill a hole in the plastic wheel hub to expose an edge but I am still going in at a 45 degree angle. My other lever point is the plastic edge of the wheel hub recess which would deform badly. I have heard of a device that has teeth on the inside that can be pushed down on the push nut cap end. It cuts into the metal and has reverse threads like an easy out for screws but engages the OD. I understand mechanics use them on rounded off lug nuts and will remove wheel locks (used by mechanics where customer doesn't have or forgot their wheel lock key). I have tried drilling off the two locking tabs but the recess prevents the necessary access angle. I even tried a Dremel tool to create a slot but the push nut is tight up against the end of the axle. Can't get a good bite without engaging the push nut AND axle, resulting in defeat. Any help would be appreciated. .Acetylene torch???/!!!!!!!

What is the procedure for removing cap nuts that have inner tabs similar to a Star Washer, ie : multiple tabs ?

When he says span the marks, does that mean on them or off of them?

what can you use if you dont have any vise grips? Is there any other tools, like the other end of a hammer or something?

I just another post about this, your method does not damage the "push nut" you are removing, Coolness!
