This is a genuine manufacturer sourced locking caster with insert designed for use with Weber grills. This is a plastic part with a metal shaft. This caster wheel helps you keep your unit mobile for easy transportation. Please note, this particular caster does not have a locking mechanism to keep the grill steady.

Removed old casters and replaced them with the new ones.
First one was most difficult. Once I figured best method for removal( tap screwdriver into collar seam with hammer), the other three went quickly. Installing new ones very easy.
I REMOVED ALL PARTS FROM INSIDE OF GRILL THEN LAID GRILL ON ITS BACK.
USED A SCREW DRIVER TO EJECT THE OLD INSERT HOLDING THE CASTER.
I INSTALLED THE NEW INSERT AND TAPPED IT IN WITH A RUBBER MALLET.
I THEN SLID THE NEW CASTER INTO THE NEW INSERT. JOB DONE!
