slipping drive

I have a crown 15sp48tt serial number 11258669. My customer complains that any time they drive over a slightly uneven section of floor the drive wheel spins. the drive tire does not look to be excessively worn. I am assuming it is worn more than the casters though causing it to lose traction. my question is, can I shim up the caster to compensate for wear on the drive tire, or do I need to replace both drive tire and caster? And what is the procedure for removing that drive tire?
Thanks

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
