mike if you do not know how to remove them i would call a forklift dealer to take out and repair them or repack for you. this is not a job for a person who does not have experience. i am saying this only so you do not get hurt or worse killed. some jobs are best left to someone who has done it before. i know this is not what you want to hear.but trust me you can be killed very fast if not done right. hope i was of help.
