How to remove the Push Nuts on power wheels and other kid toys 

11 years later and still help me out of a jam. I’m glad I was putting it together while my kid was at school otherwise he would’ve heard a lot of cussing!!

I am trying to remove a wheel from a Honda Pressure Washer, and after fighting unsuccessfully with the push cap (and slightly bending the rim!), I found your youtube. I laughed until I cried with your barely controlled frustration; especially after your casual comment “you may have to use excessive force.” Amen, brother!

so here you have a guy that is trying to help. He is so kind to us to the point that he is doing the job with just one hand and filming with the other. Then you have a bunch of A...H.... counting the time he pants or thinking that this is the wrong way to do it. Then go and make a video showing us a better solution! If this guys was in person in front of you, you would be grateful to him for just taking the time. But since through the internet nobody knows your identity you think this gives you the right to be rude. What kind of society have we become. We even stone the folks that try to help. And by the way - it did work for me and my kid's wagon is now repaired

Thank you for the push nut name and how to remove them . greatly appreciated.

This video shows the correct way of removing a push nut. These are typically hard to pry off, but this video helps a lot.

My Pushnuts were deep in a well of the wheels on a hand truck, and were TIGHT! I got a hammer and a punch, and used it on the spaces to hopefully split it, but in punching it, it flattened it, changed the shape somewhat, then I used the hammer and punch at an angle to turn the Pushnet on the axle, which loosened it more, then used the wheel as a battering ram to bring it completely off. The other wheel was more stubborn, so with the punch, I used 3M oil to lube the axle and channel lock pliers did the rest. LOL, I was about to order $30 of tools before I saw this video! My thanks to the Lord, and to this poster; the above didn't work for me, but inspired me to improvise, saved me time and money. Many thanks!

One thing that helped me with the push nuts was drilling out the area between the tabs. The push nuts pissed me off so much I drilled the axles for cotter pins.

I am not very adept at repairs, but after watching this video, I was able to remove wheels from a wagon. Thank you SO much!!

This was so helpful because my husband was following the instructions for the replacement wheels he ordered. It didn't work so he got frustrated and let it sit for about a year. lI got the paint cover remover tool you suggested and got it right off. Than you so much.

Thank you so much! I was rushing putting my daughter's wagon together and put one of the wheels on the wrong part. I spent twenty minutes trying to get that dang hat off so I could fix it up. She had seen the box already so I needed it done quick. Watched this video and had it done it two minutes.

You get the #1 dad award for fixing your kids toys-

This was very helpful getting the push nut off my seepwagon express wheels. I happen to have one from a recent paint job. Thank you for the post.

Thanks so much. Once upon a time I knew this also, but then time passed & I couldn’t even remember the name of the Push nut. Yes, the kids are all grown-ups now & I haven’t needed to fix one of there toys in ages. Thanks again.

thank you so much I'm trying to make a slammed radio flyer but i didn't want to damage the wheels great video thanks man.

Very Helpful!, thank you! You just saved me from an anger management class 😱, i was so mad cause I didn't know how to take out the second piece. ❤️ RU-vid, and videos like yours 😘

Thankyou very much !! You saved me a lot of time!!!! Help from heaven!!

Thanks for the video. My mind was saying that I need a mini pry bar. I never would have thought to use I paint can opener. Worked Great!!!

Thanks! This is exactly what i needed to know for my project.

You got it off and people got a real good look at what the nuts and axle look like. They're not expensive, so who cares if they ruin them. I just looked and Lowes has a bunch - many sizes.....plastic, zinc plated, different colors. I lost my paint key years ago, forgot about it, and after watching this I WILL be getting one, SOON.

thank you for this video. I needed to take off a push nut on my garage lock. Man what a pain

Thanks. This is helpful. About to do a mower wheel swap.

Very helpful and it worked for me -- thanks!!

Thanks for the vid. Doing a break down up a Classic Radio Flyer I found at a yard sale and I'm trying to get to all the rusted bits before I repaint.

Just a quick comment(and certainly not meant to be disrespectful.....i learned a LOT from your video)! If anyone wants to salvage those plastic red caps, just GENTLY pry around the edges...very slowly....with a flat-head screwdriver. They come off pretty easily if you are patient. I had to do this because I didn't want to spend the money to buy new ones on eBay or the RF web site. (I realize that you weren't planning to save yours...so that's why you sorta ripped them off!) Loved the tip about the paint can key/beer opener!! Thanks, again, for your video!

Thank you for your support!, is functional for Little Tikes Cozy Coupe!

Thank you man you saved me a big headache 👍🏼

Thank you so much; this was so helpful!

Great instructions man, helped a ton!

Exact what I'm looking for. Thank you.

This totally helped me! Thank you!

Look at the radioflyer website, "slash helpful-hints" and the video there for removing hubcabs. I watched it, said "no way", went down to the garage with a hammer and flat-blade screwdriver, and after six taps, my locknut slid right off using my fingers, just like their video. Amazing.

This worked for me, thanks!

Thank you so much! I was fixing a F16 Fighting Falcon of the Royal Belgian Airforce, this video was very useful!

Very helpful. Thanks!

Very helpful. Thanks! :)

thank you! This really helped.

Best video regarding this

Thanks a lot very helpful!!

Thank you!

Just did this with a cozy coupe. Vice grips for the win

I dont think I will ever buy that brand if wagon. Sorry but I was laughing the whole time. You are awesome.

Thank You!!!!

Radio Flyer says to bend the tabs on the pushnut with a screwdriver. We bought a newer plastic red wagon at a yard sale for 5.00 with a broken wheel. I am going to try and use an old push mower wheel to repair. The mower wheels are slightly smaller so I may replace each one in the rear so as to keep it ev3n.

Red caps can be found at any lowes tractor supply home depot or ace hardware in the aisles that have the organizer bin wall full of nuts bolts and the like, theyll be in specialty fasnters section i believe

Lowe's hardware sell cap nut with a cover for 3/8th's or 1/2 inch.

I followed your example and found that using two wide spayed flat heads worked a bit more efficiently. One trouble is needing goggles, lol.

thanks man!

Thank you

Thanks--have a hand truck that needs new wheels--and could not get that thing off. I'll try this...

Great replacement

radio flyer web site shows the best way to do this, ive done it and works and are able to reuse both cap and nut with out ruining it, all you need it a hammer, #2 flat screw driver, and pliers.

You can buy push nut at any hardware store. The factory plastic caps may not fit back on tho. But probably much easier than going thru RF.

Can you remove the push nuts on a little tikes cozy coupe they same way ? My wheel are on backwards and I can seem to get them off to switch them !

Hey can u help me telling how to remove the fasteners used for rear pillars of coupe car

Grab the base of the push nut with pliers and rotate it counter-clockwise. It will come off just as if it were a threaded nut. Use a deep well socket to tap it back on.

the push nut technology is stone age technology. I would use shaft collar to secure the wheel onto the axle.

thanx..

Must Have!!!

Спасибо

where can I buy these? I took my kids escalade apart a year ago and lost the back two push caps.

big ass spider lol, 5:39

worked that ring-cap it backwarts ,why? You need to work with 2 tools simultaneously , to prevent backmovements at all times.

I'm trying to get the stainless push cap nut onto the Step 2 swingset tube. The tube won't fit

Very helpful...thanks so much. I wonder if you can buy new "push nuts?" (Those things you have to flatten out.) I'm a woman...so don't laugh at my lack of proper tool "terminology." I'm refurbishing a 28 y/o red Radio Flyer wagon that belonged to my daughter(giving it to my great-nephew). HELP...HERE'S MY PROBLEM....I can't get the rusty nuts/bolts out.(Slotted side is in the wagon bed....nut side underneath the wagon). I have sprayed them many times with WD-40 and Liquid Wrench...and a few have come off. How do you get down into the rusted threads to loosen them? I have used my socket wrenches...but the whole thing just spins around. Would naval jelly help? Any advice would be appreciated. (I don't have a blow torch, by the way)...just a few hand tools.

I tried all the same stuff on my hand truck, won’t budge at all, it’s on a brand new handtruck. I’m trying to switch out to better wheels

Or avoid the hassle and drill a hole on the rod and use cotter pins.

Use a socket of the right size then tap down on the socket so you don’t smash the locking tabs down.

where the heck can you buy replacement push nuts like that. Can't find them anywhere.

I used biltema car interior panel attachment tool (part n:o 19-0024) to remove these nasty push nuts. No bloody hands anymore.

You can always just thread the end of the axle with a die and put washer with 2 jam nuts on........

go to radioflyercom then scroll down on main page then look for "helpful hints" click, then look for hubcap removal.

Thanks man. A little hay fever?

You can find something like this on the Stodoys website. Full step-by-step instructions right on your desk.

Just cut with angle grinder 😁

Some of the video's do make you feel better, after you stop laughing.

I think you need to take some time and go to woodprix website to learn how to make it.

so u wreck it, where can u buy them ???????

Harbor Freight has the same wheels for $6 , the same size so you won't have modify it.

Try tin snips, Its faster and most of the time works better

dude 2 flat screw drivers on each side of those caps and washers saves u 10 minutes justa heads up later

There’s a big ass spider on the back of the wheel

Did u see that spider in the wheel?

spider!

They are called pal nuts...

BURN IT TO HELL...spider 5:38 right by ur hand
