Introduction

If you have a foldable shopping cart whose front wheels no longer work, then this guide will help you replace your wheels so you don't have to worry about buying another cart. This guide is necessary for individuals who rely on a foldable shopping cart as a practical and economical means of transportation. A shopping cart with bad wheels can cause it to collapse on itself and cause an accident in the middle of the street, which is why it's essential to change the wheels to avoid accidents and remove the idea of getting rid of the shopping cart simply because the wheels don't work.

For the replacement, you can get an extra pair of wheels or new ones. The wheels must be a similar size to the ones you are trying to replace, and the axle must be clear enough to pass through. If anything blocks one end, it won't work. However, it's okay if one end is a little narrower from one end but still clear, as it would allow it to be inserted. Before you start, make sure to clear the area you are working on.
