How to replace luggage wheels
Wipe your wheels down before replacing them.
Sometimes wheels don't work because they're caked with dirt or debris. Clean with a damp cloth and look for anything wedged in the wheel to make sure it needs to be replaced.
You may find that a thorough cleaning the wheels and removing anything lodged in them fixes the problem. Washing the wheels also gives you a clean surface to work with as you replace them.
