Is there any instructions to replace these?

One castor snapped off and the other is damaged and I'm picking up replacements today.

The unit tipped on it's side as a consequence and ended up bending the door hinges which also need replacing

:cry:


Thanks
Jonathan

If you have the stainless steel hinges, they are installed with screws. If you have the weld on hinges, you have the option of replacing them with the stainless steel: download/Install%20and%20Repair/Changing%20Hinges%20Manual.pdf

The swivel casters on the backyard cart screw into place. Just unscrew the 3/8" stud from the cart.

Thanks for that Yoder_Herb.

I'll give it a go tonight and see how I go.

All went well.

Took about half an hour in total.

One of the swivel casters was a bit tight but loosened up and got it off.

Hinges unscrewed easily and put the new ones in.

Will test the unit out tomorrow and check for leakage from the lid.

Thanks for the help Yoder_Herb!
