We have a good bag for travelling however the two front wheels broke off. What a bummer!

Instead of buying a new bag, I fixed it. Read on for this cost effective repair.

Wheels!

Using 2 caster wheels, I proceeded to replace the broken originals.

Additional Hardware and Tools.

Using some short bolts with nuts and lock washers, together with my handy drill, I'm now ready for work!

Fitting the Wheels On.

Using the drill I made one hole for the first wheel. I pushed the bolt through and tightened the nut with lock washer with my screwdriver and pliers.

Diagonally across and drilled and installed the other bolt.

Completion!

With the both wheels installed the bag now can roll again! Not bad for a 30 minute job!
