Get your self some vise grips and clamp on to the axle, start pulling and twisting after that.

I just found out the easist way to take the out of the axel.
Grab em' w/ some pliers and hold one wheel and then take a lighter or other heat source(but lighter works best) and heat up the axle for a couple of seconds and then BAM!!! it slides off. Just make sure to not heat up the axel too long or it might melt the wheel itself

EDIT: To make hte front wheels, it says to use bushings. What are the bushings made out of?

The way I find these things out--because I hate doing things the right way--is to go to the hobby shop or hardware store with the axle/pin and start sticking it in tubes to see where it fits best...kind of like in high-school...Oh wait that was something else I kept getting in trouble for trying to stick in.

Thanks guys, you guys ar my motivation, mainly cause my cousins arent into this. Yeah, that thing on the left side, that body was from a dollar store "diecast" car set. I noticed it wasn't wide enought so I'm gonnna try another body from the set. If that doesn't work, I have an Evo bit body. But I have to cut it to make it longer. I was jsut wondering where to cut. if you guys need Pics, I'll take some.

It depends on the body but try to find the flatest place...

this is a real simple explination but it might help.
