NICE. This is the same setup as my Husky tool bag, and my wheel finally did the same thing as yours after 2 years of having 90lbs in it, with a 75lb bucket on top of it and running it down stairs. I'm gonna try to track down some bearing and do this swap! I knew how to get it apart, just didn't know what I'd find in the wheel and I can't be down my bag for more than a day. Thanks man!
@@choppersquonk they're tanks honestly. I never expected it to last 2 years with what I put it through, but it's held up well! I wanted a Milwaukee pack out, but the areas I go it would be way too big and a pain in the ass.
@@choppersquonk I'd appreciate it! I've found some 7/8 OD bearings on McMaster Carr, but the ID is 3/8. I'd have to experiment with how that would work with a 5/16 bolt. It was hard to tell from the video on if I could use a different diameter bolt with the wheel housing. Also if you could measure the width/depth of the bearing I'd appreciate it!
I can see why you skipped over getting the shaft out of the wheel, Jesus! Stabbed myself twice, finally had to drill through the bearings and mangle the side plastic to get it out! On my way to skate shop now to get bearings and then hardware store for the rest. What a PITA this is to do, mine is a Stanley and I've sent terse words to them regarding the repair ability of this style bag!
I agree with you, I had the same problem too. I had to cut the metal rivet with a metal cutting disc on both ends to be able to tap out the axle with a screwdriver, then the wheel slid out. I believe that Stanley is building these bags to be unserviceable and disposable because of how they are assembled with unremovable rivets.
I believe those bearings are the same thing you would find on roller blades. As a roller hockey player, I know folks go through those bearings and trash them. A hockey players trash would work perfectly for a rolling bag. My bag issue is the wheel has one side gone flat making for a loud thumping as it rolls around. Because the bag still 'works' I'm not sure the effort is worth it at this point. I also would have additional expense of purchasing a replacement wheel.

Unfortunately Got stolen from my work van…my colleague said his Husky had a wheel go also

@@choppersquonk just so I'm clear, I'm looking for 7/8" OD x 5/16" ID bearings?
@@xracerx26 That sounds about right, I can check tonight when I get home to confirm

I don't think Stanley makes these, there are loads out there with different colour schemes that are identical in every way.
On mine the shaft came out of the wheel not too bad, but yeah that’s a pain if it doesn’t
