Review on 🧳 OwnMy 50 x 18mm Set of 4 Luggage Suitcase Replacement Wheels: Rubber Swivel Caster Wheels Bearings Repair Kits for Smooth Travel by Richard Gallagher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good price, check the length of the axles

Conclusion Overall good price and easy installation Installation tips: A) Spread everything out, especially the axles, and check the lengths with the ruler below for more info), B) To remove, you can cut through the old wheel and axle with a hacksaw; Be careful not to cut the wheel arm, C) If you can't get back to remove the wheel assembly from the case you can use a vice to cut it in place (that was my situation), D) Try it You want to use enough shims so that the wheel arms don't compress when you tighten the bolts. E) The wheels can be misaligned to one side so I had to put the washer in to make up for that and they are the right width too and I put a washer on the outside so the bolt sits on the axle with no side play, F) If you need to tighten and loosen the bolts, use the same set until you line everything up perfectly, then switch to bolts with new thread sealant because if you tighten and loosen them it will destroy the thread sealant. Benefits: 1) Complete kit including hex wrench and pre-installed thread sealant. Connection (blue), 2) two axes of different lengths for different applications. Disadvantages: the length of the axes varies; this is advertised as 33mm and 36mm axles; However on the shorter ones there were two 33mm and two 34mm which didn't really matter but on the longer axle the axle just floated because they were too long. The solution was to grind the axle 1mm.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
