[QUOTE="1BROWNWRENCH, post: 1102526, member: 30128"] You just need a pair of pliers unless it's really messed up. Remove the kotter pins holding the wheels to the axle take the wheels off the axle along with whatever shims are on the outward facing side of the wheel. Take the shims you had on the outside and put them over the axle so the will be on the inside of the wheel. Put the wheels back on the axle and then put the kotter pins back on. Would probably be best if you leave at least 1 shim on the outside of each wheel. This should move the wheels outboard enough so they don't rub the springs. If you don't have enough to get the desired effect you could probably rob a broken one for more. Must be one around. There's plenty littering my center. [/QUOTE]
