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
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
