How do you take these things OFF once they're worn down? We ended up buying new legs....these are a bit** to change. Any ideas?

Wow...a lot of rough walking! I would try a pair of "vice grip" pliers to grip and twist out at the remaining "neck", or if none, needle-nose pliers, or if nothing, drill a hole into the plastic stub, drive in a screw and use pliers to yank it out.

I tapped them out with a hammer. But, they weren't worn down when I did it. Vice grips should work as well if you have them. Good luck.

We pulled the lower level leg off of the walker, then inserted a smaller pipe inside of it and pounded the glide out. (Sounds harder than it is.)

Hi Carrie, If they've worn down so far that you can no longer see the front lip or the back heel I would recommend removing the leg off the walker and sliding something smaller down into it and tapping it to get it out.

Tell me about it!!, I took off the covers to wash and they shredded so much on the inside it was hard to get them zipped up. I would be curious how much it would cost to have new covers made in a different material. I hate the fabrics! I know that doesn't help. I have to agree with you.Good luck. Jody

I assume after you replace pads, they may not stay in as well as you may have to utilize the same hole (depending how wide is the leg). You can always add some glue. Personally I don't have any problems with them yet. I have put them on a year ago and still look like new. Please note that I am using furniture on wood floors and there is not opportunity to drag furniture against carpets, etc... which put additional friction and may rip them off.

They just slide over the bottom after you remove your old tips. The best way is to get them started the take the crutch like your going to use it to walk and give it a good push towards the floor.

the legs are adjustable...just disconnect the legs where they adjust and there you go!

No, you should be able to adjust them by using the metal loops on the leg guards.

There is a Phillips head screw holding the feet on. I'm guessing they are removable...but I haven't tried yet

U need to take off the boot. There is a rubber top with a hole in it. Slides your foot inside and it suck around your leg.

I would check with your physician. My husband usually takes them off at bedtime, however he is just getting home from work at midnight so he has been on his feet late into the evening.

You might try getting her some gloves, like Playtex gloves that you use for doing dishes. The grip on them is pretty good, and it would take some of the work out of getting them on and off. I have an elderly friend that uses them to get his stockings on, and it helps him. Getting them off with the gloves might help also, but it sometimes takes practice getting your foot into position to be able to pull them off, especially if she is inflexible. I hope this helps you.

Take the pegs off and see if they are worn. I changed mine out recently and the pegs were very worn.

You would need tools to remove them. They don't just pop on and off. The foot rests come off easily, though.

I have assembled toys, furniture, even an Ikea kitchen but I have never come across any process that has stopped me cold before these Kidkraft legs. I cannot get them on even with all the tips listed here. My question is, why haven't they changed the legs or the screws once they have been made aware there is an issue? Today is Saturday - I will have to wait until Monday to contact them for help.

Try Heating the edges up with a hairdryer before you take them off.Do the same before fitting the new ones .Worked great for me .Good Luck

not sure where to get replacements, but they would come off if they are worn

Lala, my chair legs are 1' diameter and they were still to small to put on. My hudband had to use a hair dryer to heat them up and then still struggled to get them on. I would not cut them down because the height is the way they stay on. I would try getting the next size up, or do what my hudband did and heat them to stretch them. They are still very much worth it. We tried the sticky round things you can get at the store and they wouldn't stay on at all. This product stays in place perfectly (once you get them on). Good luck!!
