> 3 dayLast time I traveled the airline insisted I check my rolling carry on suitcase, a trusty Ricardo Beverly Hills 21 suiter bag from about 2005. Of course they managed to jam a sticker into the space next to the wheel, and of course they must have rolled it, so it came off the plane with one side of one wheel worn down flat. Ruined. These wheels to the rescue. I took a hack saw, cut the axel on each wheel, slid them out, placed these on, and voila, its better than new! Glides around silently and easily, I am so pleased. You could probably buy all of these parts for a bit less, though this is hardly spendy, and this saves you the hassle and has everything you need. Moreover the screws are the kind that tighten into each other so that there is a flat end on each side, no remaining screw protruding. I wouldnt have thought to do that but its the way to go. Very grateful for this little repair package so I can continue using my suitcase, which has a lot of life left in it, and save it from a landfill.

Greater than one weekThese worked perfectly for my large luggage suitcase vertical pullman (upright case you pull behind you with a pull handle) by Ricardo, which is built like a tank. I was nervous about selecting the right size since there seem to be a lot of different height and width of wheels. 70x24 mm worked perfectly. Since these wheels and axles do not come with instructions, the hardest part was figuring out whether to use the washers or not (I decided to use them) and where to put them (I put them on the outside of the wheel casing or wheel well, not inside). (And they took weeks to arrive; but I was not in a hurry to replace them.) Actually, before that, the hardest part was getting the old wheels and axles off since there was a welded rivet on the outside that held on the original axle that cannot just be removed by unscrewing it. In videos and articles on the web, people use a grinder or high speed rotary tool like a Dremel to cut off the rivet. I didnt have a Dremel so I slid a hacksaw blade down into the wheel well to cut the axle off. It partly ground off part of the inside of the wheel well (but no harm done), and it worked....but it was a lot of work. And even before that you have to remove the screw cap/covering and screws on the inside of the suitcase to remove the wheel assembly. Its not trivial to replace these wheels on this model (from 1995?) of pullman luggage, but replacing the whole suitcase --and I have two of these-- would have cost hundreds of dollars.

> 3 dayIt took a little engineering to get the old wheels off and install the new wheels on my 12 year old Brookstone computer bag, but the wheels roll smoothly. I had to hacksaw the pressed in axle on the old wheels. A selection of washers took up any slack on the new axel. I f i ever have to replace again, I will buy these wheels.
