What size pal nuts on trash barrels
Putting wheels back on trash barrel.Need to replace pal nut and would like to know if there is a standard size to purchase
Hi there!
Upon looking at this specific replacement kit, the Pal-Nut size they used is 5/8”. Since you may have a different trash can with a different size axle, you should refer to any replacement kits made online and see what size Pal-Nut they use.
The nut wont come off. I had to saw the axel in half.
I am a 65 year grandmother and I replaced the wheels on my 20 year Toter with no issues, Found the repacement parts online. Proud of myself
Thank you so much! Super helpful and the internet is an amazing thing with all this support.
It has a solid plastic outside and no nut
