Has anyone ever tried to reattach broken wheels using epoxy? I used it on a power nozzle mounting lug once and it seemed to be stronger than before. However, it seems like a wheel would experience more stress.

If it was any other part of the wheel, maybe. But I don't think a break like that can be fixed, as that's right at the axle joint. It would just continue to break over and over since its a constantly moving part. You can likely 3D-print a new wheel though if none can be found since its plastic.

excellent advice, I have used liquid crazy glue (not gel) on a whole host of strong lasting repairs. G. |

Try glueing them just around the rim of the break to make them leak proof. When that dries, backfill the whole thing with epoxy, maybe mixed with some sawdust or West System Microfibers if you can get them. If they're G class I might have some extras. |

If you have the Plastic Axles for the wheels, I would Superglue them then completely infill the inside and outside spaces with Epoxy Resin Glue.
What about Threaded Tubing? Threaded on the outside, smooth on the inside. Model shops sell this. Remove Hub Cap (four tabs). Insert length of Threaded Tubing through the hole in the wheel. Large Washer and two shallow Nuts (locked together) on the outside - Masked by Hub Cap. Large Washer and two shallow Nuts (locked together) on the inside - Hidden by wheel recess. Wheel spins freely, gently sandwiched between the Washers. Slide Tubing onto Axle. Secure with Epoxy. |

Something like this Lamp-Fixing (Threaded Rod) comes with shallow nuts.
Would that work on your axle? www.lampspares.co.uk/bras... |

Or a Rod Coupling?
www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Prod... Thread the Axel. Screw on the Coupler. Add a large Washer. Then the Wheel. Secured with a Pan-Head Screw (M10) and Serrated Locking-Washer. Hidden by the Hub Cap. |

I ordered: Electrolux Vacuum Model G Wheel SKU LUXREP-LX-1, Manufacturer Part # LX-1,EXR-7107
The had a list price of $9.99 I ordered 2 and got a discount of $6.00 so my net cost was $13.98
The wheels are white but they fit and are brand new.
Hope this information is a help.
