Able Life Comfortably IndependentLocking Swivel Front Walker Wheels, 6-inch, Black Rubber, Compatible with Walker, Set of 2

The wheels are great - easy to put on, feels secure and sturdy. I only caution that they are proving to be a difficult transition for my mother who has Parkinson’s. She leans too heavily on the walker and the wheels swivel back and forth as she walks. The wheels are also difficult over gravel and uneven pavement. I’m working on this with her and I hope she will be able to manage it, as they would improve her mobility.

Ordered from Amazon at 11:30am. The wheels arrived at 8:30pm the same day. Nine hours (Wow!)Installation was no problem. If you no longer have the Allen wrench that came with your Able Life Space Saver Walker, don't worry, the swivel wheel kit comes with the correct Allen wrench as well as replacement screws and nuts.The screws have Loctite type inserts (as do the ones originally installed). That may be why many people (especially those with weak arm and hand strength) are having difficulty removing the original screws.Removing the screws is like opening a pickle jar. Once you break the seal, the screws come out easily.If you don't understand how Allen head screws work, ask a family member, friend or neighbor for help. Don't waste your hard earned money by going to some specialist shop that will charge you an arm and a leg for five minutes work.IMPORTANT NOTE: IT CAN BE CONFUSING AS TO WHICH WAY TO INSERT THE SWIVEL WHEELS. JUST MAKE SURE THE LOCKING GROOVES(NOTCHES) AT THE BASE OF SLEEVE INSERTS ARE FACING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE WALKER.Yes the swivel wheels will take getting used to. Then again, a Walker was never meant for speed walking. Walk at a slow pace as you do with a wheel-less walker until you've learned how to control it.So, I give:5 Stars for delivery.5 Stars for ease of replacement (And I'm 74 mind you).5 Stars for the intended purpose of the swivel wheels.

Theses wheels are too hard. They swivel any way they want to. It would be better if they were rubber

These replacement wheels are superior to the wheels which initially came on the walker in that they give you the option of swiveling or locking, which the original wheels do not. They only function in a fixed position, making it more difficult to steer. The new wheels make it much easier to maneuver the walker. Very nice improvement!

When I received my walker it had standard wheels, which I was not happy about. I called the seller and I was told that I could purchase swivel wheels. Through them it would have cost $39.99. Then we discussed searching for the same on Amazon. I saved myself $15.00 by buying them here.Now, about the wheels. I had the most difficult time removing the old wheels. Putting the new ones on was just as difficult. I finally got the wheels replaced. The next thing was to figure how to lock/unlock the wheels. Whew!!! Now what to do with the old wheels?! I tried to put them on the back of the walker but they didn't fit, so again, what do I do with perfectly good wheels??UPDATE: Now that I have the swivel wheels on my walker, the walker no longer closes properly and does not stand up anymore while closed. I'm highly disappointed 😞 in the entire transactions (1. walker not having swivel wheels 2. then having to spend more money for new wheels). 😔. Even though the wheels are supposedly the same size, the new wheels get in the way of closing the walker, even when I lock the wheels 😳 🙄 to simulate the walker before the new wheels went on, it doesn't help.I have decided to remove 3 stars as a result of all my hassels.UPDATE: As a result of all my hassels, I decided to return the swivel wheels. I'm done with all the hassels!!!!UPDATE: I decided to repurchase the swivel wheels again. But, this time, I decided to buy Velcro to keep the walker closed so I could stand it up. If it doesn't work for me then I give up. I did buy the Able Life Rollator and sent it back. It was too heavy for a disabled 71 year old woman to put into her car.UPDATE: I tried the swivel wheels again since I was going to Velcro close the walker. As it turns out, this time, I was able to close the walker fully without the Velcro. However, once again, I am returning the wheels as I can't keep them straight while walking. ***sigh***. So, once again, I'm returning the wheels and calling it a day. I'll just use my Rollator that my son bought for me years ago and walker separately. I won't try using the Able Life Rollator either, been down that road too. Sad because I like the ease of use of the Able Life products.

I purchased these for a walker that only had wheels that went everywhere. These wheels can be kept one direction or anywhere by just using a lock. This was an upgrade to the walker.

I like the swivel wheels much more than the original ones. If I decide I need them not to swivel, I merely have to lock them in place. That said the swivel wheels were VERY hard to install. First I had to buy a large Allen head wrench to remove the old bolts, WD 40 might have made this easier but I was concerned about residual WD 40 loosening the new bolts after installation. If you think about measurements with a tolerance, my walker was on the minus side while the swivel wheels meant to go inside were on the plus side. I got out a sanding block and shaved off the excess plastic on the wheels -- maybe a 32nd of an inch removed. Tight but good fit until I got to where the nuts go in the nut cups on the wheels. The holder cup was slightly too shallow so I used my cat nail clippers with a blunt head to scrape away a 32nd or so area at the bottom of each of the cups to make them the same depth as the cups on the original wheels. I then used tweezers to remove any debris. Voila, then the whole thing assembled easily and properly. A little ingenuity to finesse it together and I think this walker will work excellently. I bought this walker because I needed one that I could easily put in my car, by myself, once I was seated in the car; this walker fills that need.

Exactly what we needed
