How do you go about getting the back wheels off...what tools are needed? I am wanting this for travel and the back wheels would have to be able to come off and go back on in order to fit in my luggage. Thanks

I don't know I have never had the need to take the wheels off and put back on sorry I just use mine on car trips

You can take it to a regular bicycle repair shop. I replaced it myself, but it's definitely more tricky to get the wheel on and off than with a typical bicycle. Ultimately I put on a tubeless tire and saved all the hassle.

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.

I just used a large flat headed screwdriver. Got between the metal rim and the plastice cover and gently worked my way around the outside of the wheel. Hope this was able to be of some help to ya.

We were not able to get it off, but you can unhook it so you can fold it backwards. We had to do this so we could fit it in our suitcase, then you can just pop it back up.

you unscrew the tool on the back and the black circle part with spring pops off and u add remove the weights. I cant see it getting stuck >u need to unscrew the silver tool. screw the black piece if thats stuck it just pops off mine.

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply

We didn't remove ours, but all the luggage we used were soft bags and sleeping bags, so everything just molded around them. If you are using hard suitcases, it might not be great.

It took me so many tears and much anger to figure out. Each wheel must be pushed up into the five arms. Each wheel should have a small stick on top that can fit into each of the five legs' holes with some force.At least that's how I did it. The instructions were nonsensical. Good luck

I didn't use wheels (didn't even know there was a wheel attachment) I just used the luggage carts at the airport. I also traveled alone with my 40b dog and the crate was easy to move on its own. I kept her on a leash and could easily move the empty crate.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

If I remember right, I think you'll only need a screwdriver and maybe a mallet to get the wheels in firmly. My wife has been very happy with it. High quality (especially for the price), and the collapsible sides are definitely a plus.

Make sure the wheels are snapped on...I did this also, but if you give the wheels a solid push, a very definite click sounds and the wheels do not come off. Press hard to be sure they are clicked on, not just put on.

the ferris wheel does not come in pieces and I don't see it fitting into luggage easily, although it would take up less room without the box, I feel it would be subject to damage without the box. I hope this is helpful to you.

You won't have to take the wheels off...depends on the model as far as handle...but it is very easy to do. You take it off and everything fits perfectly.

I just checked. The are clearly not designed to be removed but can be. The wheels are the normal type casters seen on office stuff like filing cabinets or bins. The wheels attached to a metal plate about 1" square which appears to slide/snap into place on the plastic case. I'm sure with a little effort you can easily remove them--I didn't try. BTW, I find the SPT to be amazingly effective--I live in a motorhome and the humidity was creating problems with our cabinets till I started using it. Also discovered how much more comfortable it is with it running.

Yeah, it comes disassembled so you can just not put the wheels on. However, once they're on they're hard to get off. And the way it's built, it would be difficult to move if the wheels aren't on it.
