Slide the axle into the groove on the underside of the cooler. Line up the end of the axle with the opening on one side of the cooler and guide it through. Jiggle the axle to make sure it doesn't move around too freely inside the groove. If it does, it may be time to throw the cooler out and buy a new one. [7] X Research source Pull the strap down through the integrated tie down slot. Insert the loose end of the strap from the outside. Once the strap is looped around the tie down slot, pull it down sharply to cinch it and bring it closer to the axle. [1] X Research source Remove the wheel from one end of the new axle. Use the included hex wrench to loosen the screw connecting the wheel to the axle. Slide the wheel off and set it aside. If there's a separate washer or bushing alongside the wheel, be sure to remove it as well. [6] X Research source
