any tips on removing those " caps" that hold the wheels on single stage blowers ? my toro has a cracked tire . bought a replacement, but cant get the little cap thing off. no issue with using a grinder and drilling for a cotter pin and washer !

Tried a service manual, nothing.

If it's the little metal "hat" that gets pounded on the shaft I'd use a prybar or screwdriver between it and the tire to try and pry it off the shaft. Bend it enough to get a vice-grip or diagonal cutter on it and twist the heck out.

Before I drilled and pinned I'd check out a dealer or a few hardware or big box stores for the replacement.

Toro 3290-320 ?? Not sure if this is the one for your machine.

i think its a standard 1/2" axle. tried prying the crap out of it, no go. big channel lock plyers no go. thanks for the info on the cap. might gust gently grind it off and replace .
