5.Using hex or adjustable wrenches, grasp the two hex nuts (V) holding the wheels to the arbor shaft (W) at each end of the tool (Refer to Fig. 6, 7). To remove the wheel from the left side, turn the hex nut (V) clockwise while holding the other stationary. To remove the wheel from the right side, turn the hex nut (V) counter clockwise while holding the other stationary.

6.Remove the wheel flanges (X) and the wheel (Y).

7.Inspect the wheel for cracks, chips or any other visible damage (other than normal wear) and discard if such damage is found. Inspect the blotter (Z) for damage. If the blotter is missing or severely damaged, replace it with a piece of thin cardboard or blotter paper cut to the same size. NEVER USE A WHEEL WITHOUT A BLOTTER.
