    • Position the flathead screwdriver on the tab of the pal-nut in the center of the wheel.

    • Position the rubber mallet on top of the flathead screwdriver.

    • Hit the flathead screwdriver with the rubber mallet a couple times for each tab.

    • There are two tabs on each pal-nut, so just do these actions for the pal-nut on one side. The other wheel can remain connected to the axle to remove.

    • This is to push the tab inside to free the pal-nut from the axle that the wheel is connected to.

    • Remove the pal-nut.

    • Position the new pal-nut on the axle.

    • Use the rubber mallet and hit the pal-nut on the axle until it is secured.

    • Hold the other side in place while hammering to offer some opposing force. This will help the pal-nut latch on to the axle.

    • Check that both sides are secured.

    • Flip the trash can back to the normal position.

    • Test the new wheels by rolling the trash can.

What size pal nuts on trash barrels

Putting wheels back on trash barrel.Need to replace pal nut and would like to know if there is a standard size to purchase

Hi there!

Upon looking at this specific replacement kit, the Pal-Nut size they used is 5/8”. Since you may have a different trash can with a different size axle, you should refer to any replacement kits made online and see what size Pal-Nut they use.
