Electrolux L rear wheel

[djtaylor]

I am hoping that someone on the forum can help me. I have just been given an Electrolux model L, but it needs a rear wheel replaced. It looks like the wheels are bolted in place. Can they be replaced or will I need to have the whole rear axel replaced.
Thanks in advance.

Alex, I tried that... nothing. That's why I started this thread. Do you know how to replace Electrolux rear wheels?

Hey, Justin, sorry about the rear wheel on the model L. I thought maybe you could fix it. I will try and look for a replacement one here and ship it to you if I find one.

Drake-
It's OK, I should be able to fix it... I hope. Other than that the L works fine. I am going to get a newer hose out of storage to use with it. Thanks for that pack of Lux bags. I cleaned the hard floors and area rugs with it yesterday. I also used a Kirby Zip Brush to get cat hair off my bedding. It's great.
Thanks
Justin

Your Welcome Justin!

Glad you like the Lux!

On closer inspection I have found that the rear axel is rather badly bent. Is a replacement axel made? If not, does anyone have a suggestion as to a replacement? This thing really works well, I'd like to use to clean the house with out having to carry it.
Thanks,
Justin
