Assess both wheels on the luggage:

Damaged Tread - If the rubber on the wheel has a flat spot or the tread is missing completely (reference image #3), the wheel must be replaced.

Damaged Axle - A slow‑moving or awkwardly angled wheel is often a sign of a bent or damaged axle.

Missing Wheel - If both the wheel and axle are missing, skip to Step 3.

As you remove parts, determine what is damaged and whether any parts (wheel or axle) are reusable.
