I've been wrestling with two of them earlier today.... but not for wheel painting.

 

Lever the moulding gently from the inner end of the bogie block with a small blade or screwdriver. There are two small clips.

It is a combined keeper plate and outer bogie moulding.

The outer part of the frame will also need gentle outward pressure to ease it away from clips on the main bogie block.

 

Watch out on reassembly for the pickups wanting to not stay behind the wheels as you clip it all back together.

 

TBH - I have another method for painting wheels.

It does involve having a rolling road at the edge of a high-ish shelf (and not on the workbench)

Put the loco on the rolling road and turn power on.

 

Hold a paintbrush carefully against the rotating wheel and job done.

 

Thats brilliant thank you - I have to say that the rolling road idea seems like it could be the way forward!!
