The only tool you need is a screwdriver—we recommenda Phillips head or a power drill (if you have one). Before youget started, take a minute to read through the instructions.

‍

1. Open your suitcase and lay the luggage flat.

2. Unzip the lining to expose the inner trolley. The trolley has four screws at the top and two screws at the base of the poles.
3. Unscrew the two screws at the base of the poles Ⓐ and four screws at the top Ⓑ and Ⓒ (the ones that are between the poles — not the screws that are attached at the top of the shell beneath the top handle). 

   
   a. Different screws are used in different areas of the suitcase. Sort your screws while you work to remember their location.

   
4. Unscrew the brake boxes attached to the back wheels. The brake boxes each have two screws Ⓓ. 

5. The trolley is attached to an inner reinforcement at the top and a brace at the bottom. Once the screws are removed, pull the metal trolley poles out of their plastic brace at the bottom of your suitcase and pull the trolley out by the exterior handle. Slide the break boxes through the PC shell one by one.

6. The top of the brake system is attached to the trolley by two screws. Unscrew these two screws Ⓔ and reattach the brakes to the new trolley. 

7. Slide the new trolley into place, ensuring the poles go through the inner trolley reinforcement. Ensure the brake cables are underneath the trolley poles. 

8. Fit the base of the aluminum poles into the plastic brace at the base of your suitcase.

9. To reattach the trolley, ensure that all six screw holes align, taking care to use the correct screw type in the correct location, and screw until screws can twist no further.

10. Reattach the break boxes to the wheels. Note that the Away logo should be outward facing on the break box.

11. Zip the lining, and voilà!

    a. If you have a Carry-On or Bigger Carry-On, there will be 5 screws and an inner wheel housing. 
    
    b. If you have a Medium or Large, there will be 5 screws and the inner wheel reinforcement will be integrated with the base of the trolley– the reinforcement should remain in place.

11. Slide the new wheel into place. 

12. Line up the screws with the wheel’s screw holes.

13. Insert screws into screw holes, and screw until they can twist no further.
