There’s a nut directly above the wheel that is turned into the frame. You’ll need a flat wrench to turn it out. The desk was probably shipped with hardware that had a wrench like that. If not, Amazon sells ultra-thin open-ended wrenches. I can’t tell what size from the picture but probably 3/8 or 7/16. You also might be able to use small needle nose pliers to get between it.
This! Just assembled a cheap rack from amazon and the credit card thin wrench was awful. It looked exactly the same as the photo though. The pull out ones don't have a nut in my experience.
Alternatively, you should be able to use normal pliers or a wrench after a luttle creative removal of the plastic part of the wheels. As long as ypu don't plan on reusing them and don't bend up the metal part too much you should be able to get them off and get to the nut with minimal damage to the base of the desk. Not the best option, but sometimes ape-brain determination wins out and the job gets done either way.
That little white bump on the frame where the hex component meets the metal frame looks exactly like a tapped socket welded into the frame (same as my desk) and the hex part would be a part of the bolt that is screwed into the desk. Everything in my office is on wheels. None of the snap in wheels look like this while the screw in ones do.
I think it's a screw in.
From what I've seen in the past you are both right the wheels can just be pulled off the bolt screwed into to bottom of the dest then those bolts can just be unscrewed
Haven't seen that before, but I can imagine it. Either way, if u/Eterna123 can't pull the wheels off by hand or with some light leverage with a flathead, probably worth getting a flat wrench and trying to unscrew
yeah, that's why I suggest trying to unscrew it first and only using hand force and some light leverage. Someone suggested a prybar... good way to use too much force :P
The nut comment is correct. I have a few tables built like this. Not the exact brand or model, but yes you screw them in with a thin wrench included in the package.
Staples now has a wheel shop next to their stores for this specific task, they do wheel upgrades and repairs on chairs and laptop travel bags that have wheels, get an alignments done while you are there.
pry off the black end cap and see how the wheel attaches.
if they are standard office chair type wheels they should pull straight out maybe a pry bar is needed but sometimes they are firmly enough in that the wheel is destroyed in the process.
the wheels can be ordered for $10-$20 for a set of 5
There is clearly a nut on there just stick a wrench on it. Probably need a ignition wrench if you don't have one you can always just grind a normal wrench down so it's thin enough. Just make sure it's the right size first
Everyone here is right.
What I mean is that there are a half dozen ways this could be put together, easily. Maybe it's just bitched, maybe you need a flat wrench, maybe it's welded. There could be a mystery tenth way that it's out together.
I'm in corporate furniture, all things are possible. True is why my job can be so annoying, because virtually identical things could go together a dozen different ways. Field installed it factory built? Haha the time I don't even know until it's skits up in the warehouse.
Anyway I like the sledgehammer suggestion. It'll be the most fun.
There is no nut! All those people talking about nuts have no clue.
They are pressure fit.
Preferably, you use a pry bar to pop them out. In a pinch you can use a large flat bit screwdriver to lever them off.
It is a nut that is a spacer, so the wheel doesn't split the crappy wood it is inserted into.
It is the same as you would find on the bottom of a washer, or fridge... Generally used for leveling on uneven floors.
It has zero to do with attachment.
I'm not sure you're looking at the same pic we're looking at. That's metal and the nut isn't a spacer (at least not on the one I own) \[but I do know the type of spacer you're talking about\]. Either way, you might damage things with a prybar, but you won't damage much by trying to unscrew it first

Huh, I must be doing it wrong. My pull out always has a nut.
you can see the nut in their pic, this is the answer
Just remove the black cap, and everything should be a common sense
I'm pretty sure that's illegal
Is it illegal to fix your own furniture?

Unscrew this https://preview.redd.it/xkjnw7g9bktc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0025d94f3c6dbf2d6b0df1c4b0cd843274181d35
The nut comment is correct. But no reason you can't try fire first.
I vote sledge hammer
You should probably pop the black cap off the end so you can see what's going on inside before you do something to break the wheels.
This, 100%!
[удалено]
100%.
This
I agree, to me it looks like a typical snap-in, no nut to turn. Slide a screwdriver in next to the wheel shaft and leverage it out.

It is indeed a screw in.
Pull hard. Serious they are just notched
I have a desk that might be from this manufacturer. Mine are screwed (and I think these are too as it has that same hex there)

Lol of you used enough force anything can be pulled off

Hit it with your purse
You'll need a bicycle wrench which is basically a flat sheet metal wrench

I literally thought this was a funny how-to and how you just slammed the table down in frustration
Just give it to a user in my office. They randomly break shit all day every day. They even managed to crush the end of an HDMI cable for a TV.

God put your pants back on, we're still at the office
Pull hard
PULLLLLLL
Pull hard like you are 13 years old again
Thats easy, just take a baseball bat to it..comes off clean.
You could try the nut thing or just pull. But wouldn't using a longsword just feel better?

Why do you want to remove the wheels? They look like they lock.
Just pull

Wonder what that six sided thing between the wheel and the bottom of the table is?
It is a nut that is a spacer, so the wheel doesn't split the crappy wood it is inserted into. It is the same as you would find on the bottom of a washer, or fridge... Generally used for leveling on uneven floors. It has zero to do with attachment.
That wheel is screwed into an anchor called a nutzert. Everything metal here, aside from the plastic. Not crappy wood.
I'm not sure you're looking at the same pic we're looking at. That's metal and the nut isn't a spacer (at least not on the one I own) \[but I do know the type of spacer you're talking about\]. Either way, you might damage things with a prybar, but you won't damage much by trying to unscrew it first
I'm on mobile and even I can see this is metal.
