Removing the castor wheels

[TmanEater]

I don't seem to have a proper wrench that's thin enough to remove the castor wheels. I'm getting ready try and finally mount my smoker to my harbor freight cart but I think I need a special wrench to remove the wheels. Any advice from those of you out there for removing the wheels (i.e. wrench size? is it a special wrench?). I understand the bolts for table mount should be M10 - 150. I guess I'll run to the HW store quick and see what they have available.

If you tossed the original wrench and cannot locate one try a screwdriver and hammer to loosen then spin it off. Use the corner of the blade close to the corner of the flat. It has worked for me in the past.

After searching for hours, going to the hardware store, and trying with a screwdriver it finally dawned on me I had a kitchen drawer that was full of old misc stuff. I searched the drawer and finally found the TOOL! Word of caution for everyone out there, don't loose the tool!

My tool bent so bad that I tossed it. I'd like to get another though. Do they sell them on the website?

This should do the trick if it is the correct size:

Since I found the original tool I figured I would take some measurements of it and post here (with pics):

• It's about 5" long or 124.7mm.
• The wrench opening for the castors is 0.569" or 14.46mm
• The thickness of the tool is 0.089" or 2.26mm

Good to know info.
