    • If the original wheel is in working shape, but the axle is bent, you can often free the wheel by cutting the axle off.

    • Using the bolt cutters, cut the axle as close to wheel as possible.

    • Use safety glasses.

    • If the cut axle remains stuck inside the wheel, elevate the wheel with a sturdy surface, and tap the cut end of the axle using a flat head screwdriver and a hammer until the axle is driven out.

    • What did I just say about safety glasses?

    • If it is not possible to free the broken axle, you can always request a new wheel from Patagonia.

    • Place a new or salvaged wheel onto a new axle and insert the axle into the plastic wheel housing.

    • Inside the plastic wheel housing, place a washer and a nut onto the axle and finger-turn until attached. Use the adjustable wrench to keep the nut in-place.

    • Tighten the axle from the outside using the 4mm Allen wrench.

    • Make sure the locking nylon ring on the nut engages on the axle. This prevents the nut from loosening during use.
