Guessing this a basic question but will ask anyway.

Have one set of wheels that aren't spinning nicely like the others. These all are basically new cars with little use. I've heard that not a bad idea to oil new rolling stock anyway.

How do I service the wheels and axels on rolling stock. Do I remove them from the car? If so, do they just pull away from the truck? Pull them out with needle nose pliers. Drop of LaBelle 108 on the inside or outside of wheel at axel? If pull out from truck then just press straight down to reseat after oiling? Do I need to remove to oil? Any recommendations are appreciated. I did a search on YouTube for this but didn't really see anything. If there is a good video that would be great also.

Thanks,

On lots of rolling stock the bearings and bogies are made of flexible plastic so that it's quite easy to get the wheels out just by using your thumbnail. That way you can apply a small drop of oil in just the right place and at the same time check for dirt and grime. Sometimes it's stiff plastic or there is metal involved, or the whole thing is cast in metal, which can make it harder to remove the wheels - there can also be parts of the bodywork that makes it difficult to remove the wheels so you have to be careful not to destroy anything. If there is enough room between the wheel and bearing so that you can be sure that the oil is getting to the right place, and everything looks clean, then you don't have take the wheels off of course.
