The way I do it is by simply cutting the wheel off, you drill a hole were the original wheel was and slide in the axle, or if you cant drill a hole then you need something to hold the axle and you glue it to the chassis and slide the axle through.

Re: New and Need Help removing wheels
For maisto you can pop the wheels off by prying them off their wheels assembly. I usually use a screwdriver for that. Make sure to apply even pressure to the wheel or you may snap the assembly.
For bburago its basicly the same thing as maisto though they don't fit together the same way. For how wheels the front wheels are usually held in by screws so those are easy to remove. The rear wheels can be taken off by grabbing each wheel and twisting in opposite directions as you pull. If they're stuck try using vice grips to get em out. Cutting the axle with a dremel is the last resort since it makes putting the wheels on anything else a real pain in the ass. |

For 1:24 Maisto cars you just need to pull the wheels straight off. They should come off easily
