just wiggle the wheel a little it will come off but once you take it off becareful not to lose the little metal rod that goes through the axle that is what turns the wheel

It shouldn't have a pin. It should just have a 12mm hex and the wheel will come off with some wiggling. When reinstalling, don't overtighten the nut or it can make the inner axle bind inside the bearing. If that happens, no biggie. Just loosen the 2 grub screws on the axle itself and re-adjust...

pretty much all rc's with hex mounts have that small metal rod, sometimes its a little hard to take off the hex.

VOLCANO SV, 12mm hex, no pin. Just 2 grub screws to hold it to the axle... I thought all the Cats shared this feature, even though a lot of other stuff differs, mounting wheels should be universal...
