i'm sure someone knows lol i read you can use a soldering tool to heat it up and you can remove it easily but it doesnt say where i heat it up. plus since the gear is attached to the left wheel how do i get it off?

what i did was i took 2 pliers and grab the 2 rims of the axle and pulled just remember not to press to hard on the rims or you mess up. thats what i did and i had to repaint them. oh dont bend the axle like what qfm site says you need the axle for latter.

one final note dont grab the rims to far up with your pliers or else you wreak the gear

What I did is I got a fan or heatdish with the spokes around to protect from injuring your hand. Take the wheel with the rim on it, and stick it between the spokes. Make sure only the wheel is snug between them and not the gear. Now pull. It comes out very easily. The other wheel is a lot harder. Use pliers, and if worse comes to worse break the spaceer part of the wheel so it becomes a lot easier to pull off.
