Default Tire removal

Yep flame on.

Call me an idiot, I don't care.

My wheels DO NOT come off.

I search and found hints and such:

Tire Removal

I pulled the four screws from the inside rear wheels (to try them first) then twisted, pulled, turned, lubed, rotated clockwise, counterclockwise, then tried to pop off the center "caps" on the wheels themselves (they are one piece connected with the wheels) and then twisted, pulled, turned, lubed, rotated clockwise, counterclockwise.

Finally I said **** it. They're not coming off . . . .

welll im not going to flame ya but these do come off you have to get the center cap off take some pliers and turn it counter clockwise it is hard sometimes they put a red loc tight on them and they get glued to the rim with this crap.....like i said take the pliers turn to the left when it stops pull the center cap with pliers sraight out and then when you get the cap off the front has a screw that you take off to get rim off and the rear is held on by a little little nut then when you get these off sometimes you have to pull extra hard to get the rim to come off the shaft because of the red glue sh!t they put on to hold everything in place(the center cap is not one piece with the rims )

dogg.....thanx for the tip. I bought my son a scorpion and two wheels had some serious wobble. Popped off the caps and found them cracked. Thank goodness for shoe goo.... I did call up nylint and they are sending me a replacement scorpion.
That is customer service.......
