Step-by-step: How to replace steer wheels

How to replace the steer wheels on your pallet jack

Tools needed:

Flathead screwdriver
Snap ring pliers

Process

First, you need to turn the jack upside down.

Here is a video showing you the correct way to turn your jack over.

Once your jack is turned, remove the hubcaps on each wheel.

Next, use a small six-inch pair of snap ring pliers to remove the snap ring., then slide off the washer.

At this point, the handle will need to be pivoted from one side to the other, allowing for the wheel to slide off the axle.
Now we'll install the new wheels in reverse order: Place the wheel on the axle, add the washer, and secure with the snap-ring. Finish placing the hubcap. Same on the other side of the axle with the second wheel.

Now we turn the jack back upright. You want to lower the jack with the handle in the release position. Pump the handle five or six times which will bleed out any air that may have floated into the valve area.
