Change the wheel bearings on a Victa lawn mower by following this tutorial
Tools/Parts Required
- Flat Head Screwdriver
- Hammer
- Bearings
Step 1.
Remove the wheel cover with a flat head screw driver, also remove the e-clip with the flat head screw driver – be careful not to lose it as you may need it later.
Step 2
The wheel should now be able to be pulled off the shaft, also remove the bearing behind the wheel which should still be on the shaft. Remove the front bearing from the wheel with a flat head screw driver.
Step 3
Install a new bearing into both the front and back of the wheel, a hammer may help with this. Also place a washer on the shaft flush against the mower chassis. Place the wheel back onto the shaft – a hammer may again be helpful here – the end of the shaft should stick out enough for the e-clip to be re-attached, if not you may need to remove the washer at the back of the shaft.
Step 4
Finish by replacing the wheel cover and tapping it until it clicks in place.
Hi great videos a question for you Iam trying to remove the back wheels of my Victa as in your video ,the wheel seems to be stuck ,I got one side off but the other wheel is stuck fast any ideas how to remove it ?
Hi Harry
It can be difficult at times to remove old wheels, Spraying the bearings/bushes with wd40 and then using either a rubbet mallet or a small crowbar is usually the best method to free a stuck wheel

Hi Guys
Is there any benefit on replacing wheels on a Victa for high wheels? If so would you recommend a suitable part.
Cheers
Hi Maly
It would make mowing high grass or uneven-terrain easier the largest commonly available victa wheel is 8 Inches, any larger would have to be a custom modification.
