Broken rear wheel Edward B. • New Port Richey , FL • July 29, 2020
You do not have to take the bottom pan off. Raise the side up and put a block of wood under it for safety. Take hacksaw blade or bolt cutter and cut off bent end off axle. Push out old axle. Install new one, crimp the end and your are done. 10 to 15 min. No problems at all.
