changing damaged wheels on luggage 换损坏的行李箱滑轮

We have a few hand carry and mid-size luggages.

2 wheels of our mid-size luggages were spoilt recently - specifically, the rubber ring surrounding the wheel had peeled off, creating a lot of noises when we wheeled the luggage on the floor (apart from being a bumpy ride).

Changing the wheels at luggage repair shops would cost us at least $30-50 per wheel. Decided to DIY ourselves. 

Browsed through youtube to get some guidance - bought the necessary tool to saw off the wheel, and purchased the wheel of certain sizes that fit our luggage.

The tool and wheels arrived yesterday - worked on it today (Sunday).

This whole set cost me $12

It took me about 20 odd minutes to saw off the first wheel. Once I get the hang of it, the second wheel came off in 10-15 min or so.

The changing of wheel was easy. Here is the end result...

It works well!

行李箱的滑轮损坏了,在运作时除了有些震动,且会发出嘎吱嘎吱的声响。
原想送到修理行李箱的店铺去修理。但想到其费用不菲, 倒不如自己动手修理。
从虾皮shopee邮购了有关产品。在收到相关产品后, 便动手修理!
锯呀锯。。。20-25 分钟左右,第一个滑轮终于脱落。顺手后,第二个滑轮,10-15 分钟左右便掉下。对于修补过后的成果,还相当满意!
