I have some older cars with metal trucks that I need to change the wheels on. I just can not take the old wheels off. The metal trucks do not spread like the plastic ones. How do you change them? Also, when I change the wheels on the plastic trucks to metal wheels, they are too tight to roll. What do you use to ream the hole some in the trucks?

It takes a little doing, you'll get it eventually. You just have to flex BOTH sides enough to pop them out, without spreading them too far. As for reaming the trucks... http://www.micromark.com/ho-truck-tuner,8241.html
