Weber 63050 wheels discontinued, now what?


 
Some time I'd like to know your tips and tricks for removal and install of wheels and Weber hood badge. If you don't mind sharing.
Sure, those are both easy. Just pull one of the wheel hubs off with a pair of channel locks. Clean up the axle in your drill using a piece of sandpaper. Start with a coarse grit and graduate to a finer grit to polish it. I clear coat the axle right away to keep it from rusting again. Reinstall new wheels and hammer on a new hub cap.
 
Remove badge from lid by prying those little nuts off with a razor blade or small flat head screwdriver. Spray some brake cleaner on the badge and wipe it down. Spray the badge with hi heat ultra and let dry for at least a few hours. Set a piece of sandpaper on a flat board and start rubbing the badge to remove the paint from the border. If you want the aluminum border to be shiny, use finer grit sandpaper after all the paint is removed. Reinstall badge with the original nuts or buy new ones at Ace hardware.
