Replacing shopping cart casters is a simple process that ensures your cart continues to function smoothly. Here's how to do it:
Prepare Your Tools:
You’ll need a wrench, socket set, flathead screwdriver, and possibly a rubber mallet.
Remove the Old Shopping Cart Casters:
Inspect the attachment of the shopping cart casters. If they are secured with nuts or bolts, use the wrench to loosen and remove them. For casters with clips, use the screwdriver to pry them off.
Gently pull the old shopping cart casters off the axle. If they are stuck, lightly tap with a rubber mallet to loosen them.
Inspect the Axle:
Check the axle for wear and clean off any debris. Ensure it's in good condition before installing the new casters.
Install the New Shopping Cart Casters:
Slide the new shopping cart casters onto the axle. Secure them with the appropriate nuts, bolts, or clips, ensuring they are tightly fastened.
Test the Installation:
Roll the cart to ensure the new shopping cart casters move smoothly and are securely attached.
This method ensures your shopping cart remains functional and easy to maneuver.
