Short and sweet and right to the point - thank you for the simplicity on your channel.
Thank you for this video. My relatively new American Tourister Luggage shamefully decided to shed all the rubber parts of its wheels. They just crumbled when I pulled them out of storage to use them during the easing off the pandemic lockdowns. I have inspected the inside of the suitcase and there is no way I can replace the whole assembly just like I did for my gaming chair's wheels that are just plug and replace. Now I'm off getting these replacement wheels and sawing off the crap ones. Again thank you for this video.
Genius! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I successfully replaced my wheels! It feels good to repair vs. contributing to land fill.
WOW! WOW! WOW!!
This was an AMAZING presentation !! What a storey !!! The world is such a great place because of what you are offering !! Thank you Tim and Darante !!!!!
I tried this on my luggage, and it worked great!! Thanks!
Worked well on my suitcase. Thankyou.
Luggage manufacturers continue to put useless thermoplastic rubber wheels and parts on their products. They degrade faster than you can travel...
probably so that they disintegrate and then you are forced to buy another new case.
Most manufacturer add a layer of soft rubber to their castor wheels. I suspect this is a standard way to reduce noice from hard plastic wheels.
Yep. And they should be held accountable. Because perfectly fine luggage with cheap, damaged wheels fills our landfills creating senseless waste.
Worked great for my David Jones luggage wheels. Thanks for the tutorial.
thanks for the tip. ordered my replacements.
Thank you for making the video. I have the wheels on order from the link you provided and going to purchase a new hacksaw blade. I figure it will be much safer then using a jigsaw to cut the wheel shaft. Keep up the good videos! 😀
Wow! Awesome tutorial video!
this is great, things are so simple when they are pointed out...
Thank you for saving me lots of money.
Awesome. So helpful. Just what I needed. Thank you.
Great Job bro. 👍
Good video you are a wise man 🥰
thanks a lot , I finally did it today after a lot of search to find the saw which can use for cutting, but really worth it , thanks
What saw did you use!? If you don't mind sharing. I have to saw mine off as well.

I got it from harbor freight tools i think for 8 dollars
thks for the great idea! does the bolt get loose easily after a few use?
Thank you
hooray! thanks for this. I want to put inline skate wheels on my suitcases! I think this method just might work. I just need to find the bolt portion.
Good video 👍
The washer's supposed to go on the inside - inside the wheel well!
voice in my head already captured in a comment!
Muchas gracias!!, ya no compraré otra maleta.🤗
thank you for the great video!
Thank you❤
THANK YOU!!!
Cutting the old wheels off was a lot harder than anticipated, ended up using a dremel and hacksaw combo (7+ mins per wheel). Also keep in mind that changing the wheel to these better bearing wheels does not alleviate any issue you may have with the swiveling and turning of the wheels.
Depend on the type of hack saw you use.
The original axle is actually a long rivet. The concave (cup) end of the axle is only thin metal. Find a sharp drill bit that is just over the diameter of the axle, and drill into the cup. It will cut through the rivet very quickly. Then you can drive the axle out with a punch.
Should only take a minute or so per axle.
i was about to throw my suite case. this video saved me... the rubber material degrades in time. why dont they make thee whole wheel with a single hard material ? is it available with a single hard plastic or polycarbonate ?
tanks!
it s vers good
Bravo 👍
Is there a similar replacement for those double wheel sets? I've looked all over aliexpress but it seems all the bearing replacements are for those single wheel versions.
В это время где-то в Гуанчжоу плачет китайский производитель чемоданов...😂
Excellent reply!
What's the difference, if anything between the solid and spoked wheels? Are they available in any colors other than black?
Fuc*en good job Buddy!
Wow, I wonder if I can actually do this myself
How long does the sawing take? I geel as if i am not making progress.
hi , i want to change the wheel in mine , but to know the correct size of the wheel b4 i buy
#sustainability 👍🏻
Liked the video. But was not able to highlight the thumbs up for some reaso .
Subbed
the place we replace the wheel couldnt round off
How do you know the wheel size of your luggage and what skate wheel size to purchase? I have Travelpro underseaters' need skate wheels.
You need to measure the current wheels on your suitcase, diameter and thickness as well as how long the bolt is. It's a bit hard to get the exact measurement but you can get pretty close - just measure and check multiple times! Just as long as the new wheel isn't thicker or much bigger in diameter than current wheels (cos you have to make sure it will still fit inside the wheel well)
How to buy the set of wheels?
Please send me the link or anything

Use online skate wheels for long lasting
I had a samsonite luggage I have had more than a decade, still in very good condition but the wheels have crapped out twice already. Same thing with samsonite backpack i bought more recently, the rubber on the zipper handle disintegrated which has nothing to do with wear because the bag was unused. Also had a antler i bought in 2016, used only once and now the wheels have disintegrated. I an wondering what exact material they are using for the rubber. This is really shady behaviour from the manufacturers.
I have an old delsey, heavy as shit and rolled all over the world but the wheels are completely intact. Its definitely in the type of rubber they are using, and not wear and tear.
I want wheel
Please respond
I bought today a backpack with wheels (telescopic handle) but the wheels make noise, if you replace them with ones like these they stop making noise, or do they all make noise?
What is your address?
