remove all screws (numbers vary from 4 to 6 depending on vehicle) i circled the 5 on the Buick with yellow. make sure to press down firmly to make sure you dont strip the screw

remove and seperate the 3 pieces (body, interior, chasis)

firmly grab a set of rims on an axle, one hand on each rim- it helps if you pull the rims away from each other and turn your hands so that one of your thumbs is going towards you and the other is going away from you. dont be afraid to use some muscle

pull the axle and rim out of the chasis, the axle should be stuck in one rim, and the other rim should be free

pull the axle out of the rim that it is stuck in, you can use a pair of pliers to grab the axle while you pull the rim off

take the axle and put one of the new rims on it, place it through the chasis, and add the other rim to the axle- do the same for both axles

next place the interior back onto the chasis

the body back on top of the the chasis and interior, replace screws and enjoy!!!!!!

We should just start calling fly "The Resurection Patrol"

So be it, I will be "The Resurection Patrol" and put those who disobey in thier place. Sounds like fun!
