Hello,
I need to put a new set of Tech-Drive wheels on my G6. Seeing I have 2 G6s, I want to put the new wheels on the better Gsix and the used wheels on the G2001. Can someone tell me how to take them off and walk me through the steps? Also, how do you take the front wheels off the Kirby?
Thanks!
Clayton

Clayton....

the rear wheels have a hub cap. Carefully pry them off using a thin blade of sorts so as not to damage or nik the black hub cap disk too badly. [A suction cup type of device may also work as I am thinking about this. Center it on the hub cap and pull off.] Then, you will see a small "C" clasp/ring-clip which needs to be removed. Careful. It may spring off on you and it can be hard to locate since it is light and will fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Don't pry it off to hard because you don't want to spread it apart too much. If you do, simply try squeezing it back. The wheel should come off fairly easy. Put your new wheels on and simply reverse the process. You're done!
