Is it possible to replace the caster wheels if one broke? and if so what size do i need?

I assume so. Either contact the company or check local hardware stores for the correct size. Depending what type of surface it sits on one could remove the wheels, replace them with rubber feet and slide furniture coasters under the feet when they require moving around. Probably less scuff to floors and wear on carpets

I don't know. Mine was so flimsy I threw the whole thing away...shame, I could have sent you a caster. My recommendation is to go to Home Depot or Lowes, get 4 new casters with threaded screws, carefully drill four new holes completely through, and use a washer on the top and bottom before tightening a nut on each caster.

Yes, you could purchase caster wheels and add them to the feet. The unit seems sturdy enough to support this, although it might be a bit unstable if raised to the maximum height and is loaded. There is a single hole in each of the feet already drilled.

I can not be sure if the wheels could be replaced or not. The holes for the wheels are not very big. My guess would be that they could not be replaced.

The caster wheels are 1 3/8 inches or 3 1/2 centimeters. (Each wheel is 2 inches (5.1 cm long) and freely rotates). Each mount is 3.5 cm square and has four screws.

I had trouble installing the casters. The rear caster plates were not tapped and the metal (steel) was stronger than the screw (aluminum?), so the screw just got stripped. I picked up some 6-32 machine screws and nuts at the hardware store and that solved the problem. It's lame the didn't provide the right hardware.

Unfortunately, I do not know, but I also need a new wheel. If you find out, can you post? Thanks!

Hi Patricia, Yes you can replace the wheels ( just for ease I always buy ones with bearing already attached). Here is a little rule of thumb on wheels, just a little guide not the rule is all hope it helps. For boards 40 inches or longer, use a 70--75 millimeter diameter. For boards 34 to 42 inches, use a 68--72 millimeter diameter. For boards 34 inches and smaller, use a 60--67 millimeter diameter. Note that a smaller wheel within the range will allow for easier pumping and quicker acceleration, while a larger wheel will allow for maintaining greater speeds.

The bike shop will be your best bet. It sounds as though you need the rim bent back to "true round" and if they can't they should be able to order you a new one.

Never had to replace one, but they appear quite sturdy (we own 2 chairs).The casters fit into a square stub, that in itself fits into the base of the chair.Hence you have three ways to arrange the height of the chair and could use the chair without casters, if so desired.Hope this helps....

I have heard replacement parts for Rolatape products including wheels can be bought at engineersupply.com but I don't know if this model is included or if the prices are worth it. It may be cheaper to just buy another complete measuring wheel.

Hello Jody, Thank you for your inquiry. We have contacted the manufacturer in regards to this for you and they state that you can change the casters on your own. However, if you do, it will void your 2-year parts replacement warranty. They would only be able to ship this out with the original casters as well, they would not be able to change them for you. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you, Maria

Call the company that makes the product, they sell replacement wheels. They actually gave me 1 or 2 for free the 1st time I called. I had to purchase a set of 5 last time.

I have several of these and in most cases have chosen NOT to use the caster wheels. They are great quality caster wheels that come in a bag when they deliver your product. You can choose to install them or not. They just pop into the pre-set holes.

You have to measure the stem diameter of the current caster. I did that and fit perfectly. I had 3 destroyed by movers.

I'm going to suggest you go to Lowe's, Home Depot or similar store and buy your castor wheels there. If the chair uses a bastard size you'll need to replace all four to get a level ride but the chair is such a piece of junk you'll be better off.

First choice, contact the company from which you bought the casters. This will not be the first time that they have heard this lament. If they're cool, they may just send you a replacement. Worst case, they sell you a packet of (4) sockets. Second choice, go online and search for sellers that offer sockets. I did this once and was able to find a seller that offered both caster kits and standalone socket packets. Can't remember the name of this seller. Since the range of caster types and sizes is quite broad, it may be a long shot that a hardware or home improvement store would have your specific socket in stock.
