How to Replace the Wheels on Your Carry-On

Quick Answer

Replace the wheels on your Away carry-on using the Custom Carry-On Wheel Set. With a few simple tools and about 15 minutes, you can restore smooth rolling without needing a repair shop.

Steps to Replace Your Carry-On Wheels

1. Step 1: Remove the Wheel Cap: Place the carry-on on a flat surface. Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry off the small cap covering the wheel's axle. Set the cap aside in a safe place. Checkpoint: Make sure the cap is fully loose before pulling; don't force it to avoid cracking.
2. Step 2: Unscrew the Wheel: Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that hold the wheel in place. Keep the screws together in a small container so they don't roll away. Checkpoint: If screws are tight, apply gentle pressure and turn slowly to avoid stripping the heads.
3. Step 3: Detach the Old Wheel: Pull the old wheel straight off the axle. If it's stuck, wiggle it gently from side to side while pulling. Inspect the axle for any debris or damage before installing the new wheel. Checkpoint: Clean the axle with a dry cloth if you see dirt or lint; this prevents future wobbling.
4. Step 4: Install the New Wheel: Align the new wheel from your Custom Carry-On Wheel Set with the axle and push it into place. Ensure it sits flush against the luggage body. Checkpoint: Verify the wheel spins freely before screwing it in; if it doesn't, re-seat it.
5. Step 5: Secure and Test: Replace the screws and tighten them firmly, but avoid over-tightening. Snap the wheel cap back on. Give the wheel a spin and then roll the carry-on a few feet to confirm smooth movement. Checkpoint: If the wheel wobbles or scrapes, recheck the screws and cap alignment.
