Hi Chriss
Most bike shops will do it for you, but some want you to buy a new wheel from them,but we know you can't buy a pram wheel from them. The tool you want is called a bike key it's for doing up and un doing the nipple on the spokes. When you get them in again and tighten them up, and get you tyers on,you take it to them and ask them to put it on a wheel trueing stand. Most shops should have one.
Depending on the labour time they can charge anything from £5.oo to £12.oo for a wheel. My local shop are brilliant. I RANG TO ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD DO THE WHEELS ON MY PRAMS, THEY SAID THE MORE WHEELS THE BIGGER THE DISCOUNT.Try again and tell them what you want to do, and what you would like them to do. You now have the correct names for the items, and im sure they will help you if they can regards jen

Joanne, welcome to the group and thank you for your kind comments about my book on pram restoration. A lot of the tips in there came from this site and other sources, a lot of research but as people find it useful it's worth all the hard work writing it!!! It is intended as a reference to save trawling through the messages on here, so glad you are finding it useful, as well as discovering the Preloved site!
