A photo would help. Preferably show what the problem is - we might have answers to fix yours, rather than replace... | ||

Sure thing The rubber is deteriorated and on one wheel there is no rubber in between the floor and the wheel housing thing, so that one is probably a little too far gone in picture three | ||

I have a MK1 with similar wheels
I have got spare wheels but getting the old ones off is a bitch but it can be done, I bought some spares on eBay the tyres were the same size but the fittings were not suitable so I removed the tyres and replaced the worn out ones.
You will have to drill the old rivets out and replace with new ones. Good luck | ||

So Drilling out The axle where the physical wheel mounts to or drilling out the post where the physical castor meets the frame of the twin tub? | ||

That doesn’t sound hard at all, What diameter wheel would it be? One inch? | ||

@Adam aussievac
I think the best thing to do is remove one and measure it as I cannot recall at all what size they are ... Also it gives you chance to clean up the bearings in the castor and clean the grot off it. I found replacements on ebay and removed the rivets out the new one to enable me to put them on the machine .

Wilkins Servis
Wheels
Hi Adam, unless they are very different to our models those wheels should just pull out of the holder easily, all bar if rusted in, we always pull the wheels out when moving them on a van so they dont slide about. As Chris (Gizmo) says have a look around , even your local DIY may have similar, but the best thing would be just to replace the rubber tyre etc .. | ||
