Hey guys,
I want to change both front wheels of my forklift but now I am not sure how I get the old wheels off and before I break something I just wanted to ask how to remove the wheels here?
I would like to upload photos but that seems to be impossible here.
I know that I have to get the metal out of the centre of the wheels but how do I do that?
(sorry for my bad english, I am from Germany)

The axle knocks out the support arm.
Your truck MAY have support arm brakes fitted, they where optional on the RR B2 - if you do have brakes fitted come back & tell us if there hydraulic or electric.
Remove the wheel cover, jack up & safely support the truck so the wheel is clear of the floor.
You need a M16 bolt, screw it in to the threaded hole in the axle then knock it out with a sledge hammer - you will need a long sturdy punch to.
The sleeve CLIP that secures the axle MUST be replaced!
Use a cable tie to secure it in place, when the clip enters the hole on the support arm make sure the clip stays in the groove in the axle.
Plenty of copper grease on the axle & hit the head of the M16 bolt & NOT the axle as you knock it back in again.
The problem with this type of axle set up is idiots smacking the axle in with the sledge hammer without fitting a bolt in the hole to protect it, the end of the axle mushrooms over & the next person who comes to remove it wont be very happy.
The threaded hole is there for a bolt, the bolt takes all the hammer punishment & not the end of the axle.
Three smacks with the hammer is more then enough to remove one of these axles IF it was fitted correctly by the previous person.
