How to Remove Wheels Off of a Rollator

A Rollator is a wheeled device used for people who have a wide variety of injuries and medical issues, from broken legs to severe back and arthritis problems. The wheels on the Rollator are key to making it work correctly. If one of them is damaged in any way, the device ceases to function properly, making it useless. The Rollator in this case is a NeXus I model, but the process is similar for other models of Rollators as well.
