ok rear axle first
you must remove the original wagon wheels from it. this is done by a lot of twisting and pulling. eventually it will give. all that should be on the axle is the gear. the non drive wheel you just glue into place. i suggest jbweld since it holds so damn well. mix the stuff really well. you can let it sit for a few mins before applying. just take a piece of wire or a toothpick and put it in the hole on the wheel and a little on the end of the axle(you can wipe off excess)
the drive wheel you gota cut out some of the center part until it sits flush with the gear(even then the drive wheel sticks out a little more than the non drive side) put some jbweld on the back of the gear and a little in the wheel and on the axle and squeeze everything into place. kinda roll it to center. it doesnt gota be perfect at this point because it wont dry for another 6hours or so. id wait an hour or two and then double check to make sure the wheels are centered properly. let set overnight and the next day you got a new axle with some badass wheels.
front wheels are a little more tricky. the hard part is the first step.
how do you remove the knuckle pin from a bit you ask? two flathead screwdrivers my friend. just wedge them between the wheel and knuckle across from eachother and push upwords very slowly. you will be amazed how simple it is and you wont fudge your wheels too badly in case you wana use em for something. putting the pullbck wheels on is pretty selfe explainatory. if you feel the need to glue the pin back into the knuckle i suggest super glue for this since it dries faster and is less permanent and doesnt require as much strength as the rear.
