Another rooke question. I have totally disassembled my HL Tiger except I can't get the rear wheels off. I have seperated the two halves, but I can't get the post out of the hull. I have pulled and even tried to pound them our with a small screw driver and hammer.

What is the secret?

OK this is what i did. You get a flat screw driver and put it in the middle of the post and the wheel and you wedge it of(same as a crow bar 2 bits of wood).

They are only press fit. One tank they pulled right out, on another I hammered them out from the inside.

Its just a stiff one mate. If you can get a flat screwdriver in between the back of the idler and the body and simply twist the screwy it should budge ( see pic). Its usually this intial movent thats hard to overcome , once done it should come off. Then its like pulling a cork out of a bottle, two fingers behind the wheel, the other hand on the tank hull and pull like mad.

Looks like the tank will suffer some damage during the process, no?

No, nothing to write home about, that pic shows a burr but a rub over with abrasive sorts that out in a jiffy. Dont be afraid of a little nick or two this aint brain surgery..

Thanks Boys!! I got them off at the expense of one of the wheels. No worries though because I have metal replacements.
