Pulling & Pushing: Slot Car Wheel Removal & Installation Tools

Just last week, while reviewing one of my own videos, I discovered that the high-rez camera picked up a performance problem with one of my cars that I couldn’t detect with my eyes and didn’t even know I had, which made me think maybe I’ve been doing something wrong all this time. So I aimed to correct it!

I’ve owned my wheel puller since I first started getting into the slot car hobby. And yet, I only just recently decided to invest in a tool that for over 2 years I’ve avoided buying because I believed I didn’t need it: namely, the opposite of the wheel puller, the wheel installer.

Here’s a look at these tools: how to use them properly, some things to watch out for, and some suggestions on investing in your own!
