Hi Lister,
It arrived then... ....I am only guessing here..I have never seen a Bulldog..... but they might be like other kinds, and the wheels are actually in 2 pieces. The axle that is shaped like a nail with the point cut off is passed through the inner wheel and then the outer-half is glued onto the inner-half....The track 'horns' run down the middle and the wheel can turn freely on the axle. Try looking closely to see if there is a 'Join-line' between the two halves after the tracks are out of the way.

thanks alb
you were spot on
it's gonna take a long while to get them off
& i'm 50/50 at the mo, 1 wheel off & 1 broke due to impatiance

i've just realised the easiest way is to just cut the hubcaps off with a pair of side cutters, huzzah!
be warned though, it mullers them
so you'll need to remake them if you want to put them back on!
a good job i only wanted the susspension really
