Im am in the process of putting in a new gear block for my Bachmann big hauler. I am having trouble getting the wheels off from the old gear block. Is there a trick to this?
The plastic spokes and counterweights are just plastic inserts. You can pry them off with a tiny screwdriver. I do it at the spoke and get the point of the screwdriver between the metal and plastic spoke.
Then you’ll find a phillips screw holding the wheel to the axel.
