Remove Caster? Silver A

[John-NY]

Best way to remove this caster?

All you need to do is slide a screwdriver between the wheel and the foot and the caster will pop right out.
Getting the square foot insert out is a bit harder..... thankfully I've never had to get one out myself.
A new caster will pop right back in.

Thanks, this is actually very helpful to know.

In my case I need to remove the entire assembly including the insert. I was able to successfully get it out (a little rough) by using a hammer and chisel, bit by bit.

However, knowing for the future that the caster itself can pop out of its housing that easily is great!

A hammer and wide flat blade screw driver will get the insert out. You can also pry the wheel out of the insert with it.
