!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

From this post, I got the idea to remove and replace the wheels altogether using a hacksaw.
Here's what it looks like right now. My problem now is that I can't remove the leftover metal shaft from the caster wheel.
I've tried using some lubricant and hammering it with a screwdriver but it didn't budge.
go to a big box store. go to the metal bar stock section- usually they're in the pick-and-choose nuts and bolts area. Alternatively, just ask. (I like local hardware stores, they''ll have it too, somewhere. better selection of pick-and-choose hardware, too.)
Get some smooth rod slightly smaller in diameter than the rod there. use the rod to knock it out- either in a press (if you have access to one) or by setting it in some kind of clamp and pounding on the rod with a hammer.
if their only options for bar stock are expensive, you can get a bolt that's also slightly undersized and use that.
for the record, the wheel looks like it's an absolute gonner, so you're probably going to have to get more parts anyhow.
is it okay to borrow the press in the hardware?
if not what kind of clamps do I need? a Vise grip?
I don't think I've ever seen 'vise' written down before, I always just assumed it was spelled 'vice'! You learn something new every day
British spelling is vice.
