    With the wheels that has to have switched to using with their vehicles now, I was wondering if there is any proper/best way to detach them, with being able to reattach.

    You might want to ask this over in the Radicons GD area. Those who do this on a regular basis would probably be better to answer, :)

    Just squeeze the inside pegs with your fingers or some pliers gently.

    Best method for removing wheels

    Anybody know the best method for removing the snap on wheels hasbro has been using, while being able to reattach them.

    EDIT: If you know how to remove pins safely too, that'd be great to know
