Thanks dude Took me 3 videos to get to someone (you) who actually slowed down to demo the cotter pin - everyone else sped thru it. Not everyone has used a cotter pin and for some this is our first dolly so your video slowing down to actually show how to secure the wheels was a big help 👍
Thanks for explaining so clearly. Your demo has been invaluable to me - I didn’t have a clue. Update: After watching your video I have successfully changed my sack cart wheels and if I need to do it again I will have the confidence and the right tools for the job. Big thumbs up to you.
All of you people show how easy it is to replace a tire WITH A COTTER PIN! Please show how to replace a tire without a pin. Getting those caps off is a misery!
Hey Jack, no need to get upset. Dollys with caps are just as easy to repair and replace. Once we have a dolly in need of repairs, we will make a video.
@@StumpfMovingandStorage Thank you, I would appreciate it. I have bought and returned two sets of tires to Harbor Freight. My Dolly does not have cotter pins and the tires that I now have does not seem to have any way to be secured to the axle.
Have you thought about drilling a small hole through the axle for a cotter pin? We have done that in the past, when the caps get lost, and it works great.
@@StumpfMovingandStorage I appreciate the suggestion and yes I have considered that. (it is probably the easiest solution) I might not be handy enough or have the right tools to drill into a round metal spool. It may just be easier to throw the dolly away, although it is relatively new, than to try to fix it.
Before you throw it away, try using a pair of channel locks to remove the cap. (I've done this in the past and it works well.) Use the channel locks to spinn the cap back and fourth wile pulling it off. This takes some effort, but works well. Once off, replace the wheels. Depending upon the type of wheel you use, you may need spacers. Save the cap and reuse it. Place the cap back on and use a hammer to tap it back into place.
Appreciate your video for a simple tire swap you have a video that might show what is necessary if you have unknown Wheels and no axle and a possible total rebuild of a axle from raw round barstock 1/2" or 5/8"stock
Hi.... when the new wheel packaging says "2.25 offset" how can I know if this is what my current dolly uses? I see most of the new dolly wheels say this but i dont want to buy the wrong thing.
