Blue tote repair?

When I turned my Blue boy into a permanently mounted grey water tank mounted under the truck I was able to pry the axle, with wheels intact, off just using prey bar and leverage and I'm an old lady. They're just sitting in the barn waiting for that day someone might need them for something else. Sure don't miss having to drag that thing all over the country.

any advice on replacing the tires on my 32 gal blue tote?
new axle ? size

Thanks

Thanks guys, sounds like no easy way, just have to go for it.

I guess I was lucky. I put my axle from my brand new tote in the vice and use a small screwdriver to get under and get it off.

I have had some luck with a vise grip on the collar , not too tight , then pulling and twisting at the same time . Then again have had to cut them off . Good luck

1) Dremmel to cut a slit on one side then split open and remove.

2) Grinder to just grind away one side

3) Good pair of large dikes to cut through one side

4) Ply bar to wedge it off if you have something sturdy to push it against.

5) Combination of above until you run out of choice words and decide to try again tomorrow.

They are tough, but not indestructible.

X2, replace the push caps as they will be destroyed removing them. They are cheap and even if the old ones aren't destroyed they won't hold well in reuse. JMO

I was going to replace the wheels on my Tote-N-Stor waste tank but could never get the caps off the axle. I finally gave up
