How to install and remove the wheel? Installation: 1. Align the wheel in the "wheel well" and press the axle ends down as far as you can with your thumb. Make a fist and hit the wheel with the bottom of your fist to fully seat it in both axle arms. Visually inspect the wheel to make sure it is seated and after putting the shoes on, stomp each heel a couple of times to check for seating. Removal: Hold the shoe upside down with the outside edge away from you. Position both thumbs (one on top of the other) against the side of the wheel and as close to the axle as you can. Using your thumbs, push on the side of the wheel. Because axles are pressure fitted into the "axle arms"(or temperatures are low), wheel removal may be a bit difficult. After the axle is partially out, turn the shoe around and with your thumbs, reeat the procedure by pushing against the other side of the wheel.
