Reuse of wheels

Recommended Posts

I have been rewheeling models from 00 to Em for some years now. Having bought some Heljan Cargowaggons a few yeasr ago I picked some more up recently andthought lets have a go at getting them EM'd

 

The tyre is a fine 00 FS profile so I thought Id give it a go on pulling them out....

 

One tyre is on a plastic bush and that is no issue simnple ease out the other axle, my word some are stuck that seem welded almost to the axle.

 

Friday night one axle saw off my nice and rather fine micromark wheel puller and since then even a boiling pot didnt do much at all.

 

Oh and they didnt use a 26mm axle hmmmmmm what I thought was a simple job has turned almost into my thoughts turning to etched sub frames.

 

Anyone else had reuse issues with Heljan wheels?

 

Ian
