Nylon gear removal
Thanks,
I have had them all open, to remove the 40 year old grease. Even the small lid at the axle top where a metal wheel turns in grease (and can be tightened via a screw from the top).
I have just not bothered to press out the wheel, as none have been damaged.
As I say this, I have one stuck rear quarterlight on one of my many cars. The cover plate is off, a hole cut in the plastic, and I have tried using my thumb and even a screwdriver to get it going. I will try again, next time I am in Switzerland where the car currently is. I will drive it to Sweden in 2 weeks time. No need to open it anytime soon with Europe´s autumn coming early this year.
