Troy Bilt Flex Mower attachment bent caster wheel

[WindsorRob]

I have a 2 year old Troy-Bilt FLEX system with the mower attachment and the snowblower attachment.

At the end of last season i hit the edge of the sidewalk with one of the casters on the front and ended up bending it slightly. now it doesn't rotate smoothly and the wheel rubs against the wheel holder. i would like to remove the caster so that i can try to bend it back to shape, but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Anyone know what to do?

You need to pry off that black single use washer. Drive a screwdriver under it and pry it off. 90% of the time it will break, but a new one is less than a buck at a good hardware store. Take the shaft with you when you buy a new one as they have many sizes.
