wheel is stuck

i noticed today that my zipzap was starting to get slower, so i decided to take the body, motor, gears, hubcaps and wheels off and found the problem, there is a bunch of hair and stuff stuck right behind the front left wheel, first off, is it possible to take apart the car to get the stuff out, and if it is, how would i do that?
also, the chassis is from the starsky and hutch torino

you could get a tweezzer and a small knife and that would get the most of it out. you can pull the actually wheel out by pulling out the pin that goes straight into it but it's tuff. and if you do get it off becareful when you go to put it back on that it doesn't go on to tight cause then ur screwed.

Picking the hair out is only safe method. Use tweesers and an exacto blade to slowly remove the hair as you turn the wheel.
Taking the wheel off is possible, but very difficult and damage to the soft plastic is very hard to avoid.
