If you are looking to install casters with stem, you may have questions about their installation process. The first step is to determine the location for the new caster. This should be a place that is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the caster. Ideally, you should use a socket wrench to attach the caster. Be careful not to use a socket wrench that is too large or you will strip the threads.

Once you have determined the location, the next step is to measure the length of the stem. You can use a measuring tape or bolt gages to get a rough estimate. Make sure the stem is not too long or it may fall out when you try to pull it out of the socket.
After you have measured the stem, you should then purchase a replacement. There are three main types of caster stems: plain, threaded, and grip ring. Grip ring casters are the best option if you want high-load bearing and don’t need to pick up the furniture. Read more : https://www.castercity.com/2022/03/10/attaching-stem-casters/
For threaded casters, you will need a nut sleeve and lock washer. In addition to that, you will need a thin wrench to turn the nut counterclockwise. Also, you will need a 19 mm wrench to tighten the nut.
A grip ring is also ideal for heavy-duty casters. It will hold the caster in place and keep it from falling out. However, if you overtighten the grip ring, it can cause the caster to break.
