Well, I broke a few today when I was swapping the chrome wheels for the black ones, and for the life of me I could not fix it. The pin and collet came out of the wheel when I pulled them off, and I didn't know how to get them out, and when I did, one of them completely disintegrated in front of my face. If you do this too, here's how I made my own.

I found all this stuff in my garage. Just cut the nail down to the right length, and find a tube, and drill it with a drill bit as big as the axle itself. Then, just fit that stuff over the axle and put the wheel on. For me, the wheel is not as tight as the others, but does not wobble and will not come off unless you try to pull it off. It also spins, but not as good as the others do. But I don't care, it saved me $30.00.

Hopefully the pics do better talking than I do.

The 4th pic is before I started, and the last pic is after I finished. You can't tell it's messed up.
