does this put more pad pressure on the head, or are you tring to get it to look like a 78' Caramo with air shocks???

Danny, it won't put any more, nor any less, pressure on the pads, due to the entire base 'floating' on independant struts/arms.
However, the larger wheels will make it easier to take up and down stairs, also wheel in and out of the van on a ramp.
How do those chrome hub caps come off??, I haven't looked at them as yet, so am still in the dark.
Being a predominantly lazy bugger, I'm always on the lookout for an easier way of doing things.
Cheers,
Shorty.

I'm always catching the hubcaps on corners and door frames, I wish the tires were wider than the centers to stop that. Between that and the sticky cord, somtimes its a pain to run in hallways.

did you leave the old tires on and put the new axel thru them? then mount new tires on the outside of old wheels?

Yes, leave the regular wheels on. Don't try to clean with the bigger tires on.
Use air filled tires, inflate to about three pounds (they float over steps better that way). Use a 5/8 inch threaded rod - it's available at Home Depot - cut to length. Thread through holes in regular wheels, put tires on, put nuts on (don't tighten - leave loose) and you're ready to go. The big tires will be on the outside of the regular wheels.
There are further directions on this site - go to search engine, type in "big wheels for cimex" and your other questions should be answered.
Don't go beyond 13-14 inch tires. They won't fit on stairs.
To put the tires on or take off - start with the handle up. Rotate both wheels to the correct position (you'll find out what I mean when you do it.)
Thread the rod through both of the regular wheels. Put on big tires and nuts. Time - l5 seconds.

I may have a chance to clean the jetway carpets again soon. The steps are adjustable. They could be steep or they could be lower.
I think a handle would be a better idea. If you understand what I am trying to say.
Thanks,
Fred
