?replace bushing on compressor wheels?

One of the wheels on my air compressor is at an angle. I removed it
and the bolt/spindle and the inner and outer bushings wiggle.

Anyone know if it is worth replacing these bushings and how to do it
or should I just buy a wheel? - Mike

Rich,

Check with you nearest bearing or power transmission products supplier. They
my have an off the shelf bushing for much less than the cost of a new wheel.
Many bushing sizes are just as available as bearings.

I have had to replace the cheap roller bearings in the front wheels of my
garden tractor a couple of times, and it's much cheaper than a new wheel.

Wow. Harbor Freight is more than just our one store here?
We have one store here in Waco, TX. and I thought that was it.
Definately a place where one can find an occassional great buy (like
super cheap Snap-On's etc..) but for the most part is a place to
careful of the quality of tools & products when dealing with aviation.
