I was hoping I could disassemble it further, but I don’t know how.

Can someone teach me how to disassemble the wheels? or maybe another way to remove the gunk from between the wheels so it can turn smoothly again.

      Keep the gray plastic. Remove black clip around the vertical wheel post in the gray plastic. Remove wheel and wheel post. Buy new wheel. Installl new wheel. It will be easier to find a new wheel once you have the old wheel out so you can take measurements. but it’s likely something pretty standard, off-the-shelf. Wheels are something that companies buy, they rarely build them themselves. They typically come as a castoring assembly with wheel, axle, spindle, and attachment post in a variety of common sizes and with a dizzying variety of actual wheels.

        One downside to larger roller wheels might be the ability to take a beating. If it’s sticking out more, then it might be harder to stow

        If it’s carryon then it might be a big deal

      Oh I meant replacing the existing wheels with better ones instead of getting the exact same ones.
