50MM Luggage Replacement Wheels,Luggage Suitcase Replacement Wheels Kit,Axles 30MM,35MM,Deluxe Repair (Colorful)

The media could not be loaded.  One of the wheels on my Samsonite luggage broke thanks to typical airline abuse. It seemed like a waste to throw away an otherwise great suitcase due to one bum wheel. I watched a few videos online about swapping out luggage wheels and although I couldn't find a video that worked on a suitcase with the same wheels I had, I had enough of an idea that I figured I'd give it a try first instead of spending $$$ on another suitcase. I will tell you that if you're on the fence about it, just give it a shot because it is much easier than you think, and the whole process of switching out 4 wheels on my suitcase took less than 30 minutes.I bought the colorful rainbow wheels because I figure it would definitely help me find my bag at the airport, and also to prevent others from mistakenly taking my bag. Like everybody else, I had a black Samsonite suitcase that looks just like your Samsonite suitcase. I now have a black suitcase with rainbow colored wheels that clearly stands out.The two sizes of the axles were great, and there are enough washers supplied so that with various combination of axles and washers, these replacement wheels should fit your suitcase. The online videos mentioned using a hacksaw to cut the existing axles off, but I found it much easier to just drill out the rivet instead, and then push out the axle. Only took about 15 seconds to remove the old wheel using a drill. You then put the new wheel on with the new axle and screw. As a nice bonus, the screw comes with Loctite applied to the threads, which will prevent your new wheels from becoming loose.The only annoying thing was that the new wheels came with dry unlubricated ball bearings. So while it spun much better than the stock wheels on my suitcase, it really wasn't that amazing. After a few squirts with silicone based lube, I got the wheel to spin like my kid's fidget spinner and I was in business. I highly recommend lubricating these wheels before you put them on.Overall quite happy with the replacement. We'll see how durable they are.

Works great! My particular suitcase was difficult to remove the old tires, but a breeze to replace the new ones. I love the colors because it’s easy to identify amongst all other black ones.
