Turbo Cat EX Turbo Tool Rea...

Product details
This small rear wheel, part 8425-02, sets the ride height for the turbo tool attachment that pairs with the Turbo Cat EX, the hand-held companion piece rather than the full floor nozzle itself, letting it glide smoothly across upholstery and stairs.
Load runs through the axle bore every time this tool moves across a surface, which is why that bore is the first place wear shows up. Once it opens up even slightly, the wheel sits loose in its mount and lets the housing tip or drag, which throws off how evenly the brush roll makes contact underneath.
A wheel worn flat on one side from turning the same direction repeatedly, or one that has stopped spinning freely by hand, is past the point where anything short of replacement helps. Check the front wheel and axle at the same time, since a tool run for a while on a worn rear wheel often develops matching wear up front from the extra rocking motion that follows. A quick spin test on both wheels before reassembly catches a second worn wheel before it turns into a second order placed a few weeks later. Wipe down the axle stub itself while everything is apart, since caked grime there shortens the life of even a brand new wheel.
