For repairs or replacement it may be necessary to remove the wheels.

To be able to disassemble the wheels on the non-driven side, the wheel carriers must first be disassembled. See Disassembling and installing the wheel carrier.

The motor-driven and the belt-driven wheel cannot be replaced individually. These wheels must be replaced together with the installed wheel carrier. See Disassembling and installing the wheel carrier.

Only the non-driven wheels can be replaced individually.

The pictures show the procedure on a GM 1000 modular wire rope hoist. The procedure on GM 800 does not differ significantly from this.

   Place the wheel with the deep groove ball bearing onto the wheel carrier.
