"ALLYN CHRISTOPHER: Okay. Now we're going to get into taking the wheels off. Now we are going to completely strip this bad boy down to just its main frame and we're going to rebuild it up from there. Now I'm going to use my screw drill to make this go faster but always, always, always when you do that check to make sure that it's on the lowest possible torque setting because if you don't, when we start to reinstall it, you'll send, well, this stainless steel screws straight through the cleaner. All right. What we're going to do now is remove the three wheels. These wheels are little bit different and then they do have the nuts that hold them in the bottom. So I'm going to start with this back wheel over here and I'm gonna--okay, take it through. Get in there. And finger under the bottom. Done. Done. See, it comes straight off. Put that aside. Actually once the wheels are off I like to use them to hold the screws. It just makes a nice little tray there. Kinda like you do with the hubcap of a car when you take it apart, [SOUNDS LIKE] there you place your lugs. All right. I'm going to just repeat the procedure here on the back wheel or the front side wheel rather. There we go. Fantastic. Now, there we go. The wheels are off now we're ready to get into the turbine part."
