OwnMy 40 x 18mm Luggage Suitcase Replacement Wheels, Rubber Swivel Caster Wheels Bearings Repair Kits, Set of 4

Great for changing luggage wheels

Switched up my office chair wheels to these and no longer need a mat to protect my hardwood floors.

Very good kit. Don't over tighten during installation you may crack plastic components of original wheel assembly.

The hard part was drilling out the old wheels and not damaging the plastic. These replacements are so much better. I did load with more grease in the bearings and used threadlock on the screws, so they wouldn't vibrate loose. You also have two screw sizes to allow some flexibility in fitting.

I have an large old Samsonite roller (spinner) case. One of the original TSA cases, so not quite 20 years old. Older case with only 4 wheels rather than the 8 many new ones have, so they carry more weight on each wheel. The rubber on the original wheels had disintegrated, making the suitcase impossible to roll, and unusable. These wheels fit perfectly, look good and work great. Removal of the old wheels was a bit challenging, I had to saw the axles off. I don't think Samsonite ever though the wheels would need to be replaced. Heads up- in my case, it was easier to work on the wheels with each wheel assembly removed from the suitcase. I had to cut through the liner to get to the screws, and removed all 4 wheel assemblies. That made working on them a lot easier. I started with a dremel, but that created a lot of heat and took a long time. I was concerned about melting the plastic parts. A handheld jigsaw cut the axle much faster. Once the old wheels were removed, attaching the new wheels was simple. There were 2 sizes of axle, so you could pick the one that best fit your hardware. Reattached the wheels to my suitcase, mended the liner with tape, and the suitcase rolls like new. Actually these wheels are a better rubber material than original (more akin to mini rollerblade wheels than say, caster wheels) so I think it rolls better than new. The suitcase is a large roller case (max size- 50 lbs), loaded to just below capacity (so it was heavy), and was then used on a cross country plane trip, rolled through airports & parking garages, survived baggage handling, transferred from plane to plane, and the wheels worked perfect the entire time. Rolled smoothly through and out of the airport. It restored usefulness to a good suitcase, so the money spent and time taken to fix was worth it. More money to spend on vacation, since I didn't need a new suitcase!
